Batteries

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.

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

anyone doing this? I use rechargeable AAs for my camera

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

What? MY transmitter batteries in my 400 usually last me at least 6 months. I guess I just don't want to waste co. resources like some other people around here

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!

Anyone here use a RYCOM? I used one last fall/winter and was changing batteries every 3 days.

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.
