By Your formula its time I replace the batts in My Focus 4 I bought in 95 fom TowerH. Its been a good radio all along but I have not used it in the past year either. Thank's for the tip

But I have never owned a cycler or peak charger, I have cycled the batteries down with the switch on method usally every three months and recharged them for no more than 16 hours.

I have several radios and have never had a battery in the trans. go bad in less than 4 years I know of. and only lost Rx batt due to a crash.

It is Your choice to make, but the amount of flying You do has a role in it. When I flew a lot I had a radio for each plane, and I was not flying all day off the same trans. with different RCVR's and planes like many are today.

Have fun" You and Your Grandson
