Agreed Kreb

Can you imagine going away on vacation with bespoke camera battery, bespoke
cell phone battery, bespoke PDA battery, bespoke GPS battery (it is a hiking
vacation) taking one in each appliance and another for spare just in case it
discharges miles from a battery charger power source?

Cost = far too much  not just in terms of humble dosh but also in terms of
inconvenience, risk and loss of appliance when it may be needed most of all

IMHO gove me a handful of AAs anytime
