Yes, it's a boating question. :-) The rechargable batteries that came
with my Raytheon handheld VHF are total crap. It'll take regular AA
batteries, but I'd also like to keep a set of rechargables handy.

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who's already been through the
mill, as far as buying (and discarding) lousy batteries & chargers, and
finally reaching nirvana with a particular brand that actually works.


Anything except Radio Shack.

Yeah...I had the same feeling. After my last rechargable battery experience
with them, I was left with the feeling that my destiny included throwing a
lit bottle of gasoline into their store. :-)
