well its about time one or all of us say which batteries are the best for the Radio , im not too sure about other radio's but mine takes 8AA batteries is it better to get 24 (3 uses. $8.00) of non-rechargeable or 8 rechargeable ($16.00)

what are your thoughts on this?

i say go with rechargeable in the long run its better and cheaper , also lets not forget type, id preferably go with LI-ION (with a 15 minute charger it goes up to $50.00 but i think that the best investment ill ever make )

what are your choices for this matter?
