Batteries

[UULC]

Does any one else use their batteries out of their transmitter in their receiver? I have found that the batteries out of the transmitter still have a lot of charge. :good::applause::):happy:

Never have I will have to try that...I thought of getting two sets of rechargeables and putting the charger in the truck to see if they saved any money :good: anyone doing this? I use rechargeable AAs for my camera

[UULC]

I have found recharge batteries do not work in a transmitter. The will die in less than half a day.:good::applause:

[TBONE]

Cool I wont waste my time and money trying then :thumbsup2: wait it isnt my monry .hahahaha :D

Gees Spray, you're ALWAYS good for at least an LOL laugh.

The batteries in the boat anchor, er, I mean the lean mean locating machine RD4000 some of the guys up here use have a life of about 4 minutes.
Wow, you have an AWESOME machine dude!:yahoo:

Well, to be honest, I usually use power/passive mode. I probably don't actually use my transmitter over 2-4 times per day.

I have a 400 now and I only change that batteries in it every 3-4 months I even use the hell out of it. As far as the Rycom the one I had I was very lucky to get a week and a half out of it. But I still like the Rycom a whole lot more.

Hey Spray,

It's real easy to make the batteries last when you don't take the transmitter out of the truck...:yikes:

[RoadMap]

Gee Spray that is real comforting to know you power mode everything.:yikes:

The batteries in my Rycom transmitter last about three weeks in the summer, in the winter you're lucky to get a week out of them. The Rycom reciever batteries last about 3 months.

The transmitter batteries will last forever if you just use 815 and 82 but for some reason using 8 needs a lot better charge.

Good one and now I'm waiting for a battery operated spray gun that also shoots out the flags. Something that Tim the Tool Man would have thought up:yikes:

I've tried to use the rechargeable batteries for my camera but it didn't work too well. The charger I had only charged four batteries and I couldn't keep the batteries charged fast enough to make it work.

When you turn off the truck the batteries don't charge so it was very spuratic as to getting a full charge in the batteries by the time I needed to use them. Also once the batteries were used for a while you barely could get a few hundred pictures from them.

my company went that route b 4 but it did not work well battery chargers and rechargabe batteries are not worth it.......
