that's pretty typical of a lithium battery pack.
They work at full capacity up until they die...and there's no real obvious
warning that it's gonna die...not like old NiMH or NiCD battery packs that
would just slowly tail off until there just wasn't enough juice to keep the
receiver going.
Speaking of batteries, does anyone use the energizer lithium double A
batteries? I've yet to try them, but they seem pretty good...up to 8 times
longer than a typical alcaline battery....probably 8 times more expensive
too hi hi.
I've got an HT here that has an 8 sell double A pack that I might try those
lithium batteries in.
