ORIGINAL: Sudden Silence
I use Sanyo Eneloop NiMH batteries in my Hitec Eclipse, I charge them with the wall wart charger that came with the radio. The Eneloop batteries don't have the self discharge problem regular NiMH batteries have and come charged. I got them at Circuit City, but have seen them on the internet since then.
Forgive me for bragging about the great deal that I got on Enloop batteries
! About a month ago, on another boat forum, I was told that Circuit City carried Enloop batteries. I went there and saw that they had 4-packs for $9.99 but they had 8-packs clearance priced for $7.39 each! Thats right! 8 Enloop batteries for $7.39! I bought eight 8-packs
