Where is the best deal on finding them?

 

Thanks.

Sanyo Eneloops are great rechargables to consider!

 

By "best deal" I hope you mean the best performing not the cheapest. Cheap rechargables are barely worth considering

I like Thomas Distributing. http://www.thomasdistributing.com/ I personally like Maha chargers and PowerEx NiMH batteries. Don't know if PowerEx makes a low-discharge battery, though.

Any chance of using the search function for batteries ???

 

Cheers,

Thomas Distributing would be the best. If you order the charge you get 4 AA and 4AAA bateries. It will also charge any rechargables great. Sanyo Eneloops are also a great choice. For the Delorme the travel power pack works great. You have to get it from them.

Seems one of the best deals is on the Lithium batteries for these units.

 

Heck of a deal at under $10 each http://www.all-battery.com/search.aspx?find=RCRV3

Yes ond one comes with the Power kit from Delrme. It is nice because you can charge them without taking the battery out.

Agree on both points. Over the life of a set of rechargeables, the savings in one brand over another is trivial. And from what my tests with different brands show, Sanyo is among the best for providing batteries that actually live up to their mAh ratings. I've seen quite a few that fall 15-40% short.

Be careful to specify Lithium-Ion CR-V3 rechargeables for the PN-20/30/40 when ordering by mail.

 

The similarly, and often deceptively, packaged NiMH rechargeables in the CR-V3 form factor cannot be recharged inside the PN-20/30/40 devices, and will work no better, and probably worse, than two standalone NiMH AA cells.
