Mike,

Thanks for making the subject relevant to the content.  Unfortunately, I 
missed much of this thread since I don't have a woxun and just stupidly 
assumed the original thread was totally related to that.

So, exactly what are these batteries, who makes them, and is there some 
sort of name one can look for in trying to locate them.  I'm interested 
in double a and also tripple a sizes.

Thanks and thanks again Mike for changing the subject.
