you would think since they are lithium they would be rechargible...but I
don't know..the TV commercials don't say.
2900MA is pretty decent though.
8 of those in a pack and you've got 23.2 amp hours...quite good.
One could potentially run a 100W transmitter at full duty for an hour. Or,
a 100W ssb transmitter in a contest for several hours.
Makes one kind of wonder why most HT battery packs, at least the stock ones,
only ever offer 1400 or 1800MA.
