They still last longer than alkalines and save a good bit of money.<br /><br />I&#39;m not aware of lithiums in mainstream use, but that doesn&#39;t mean no one is using them.Dave Wilcoxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02402220042714122920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24201073.post-7923306871086055542011-10-31T19:31:32.543-04:002011-10-31T19:31:32.543-04:00Dave,<br /><br />I&#39;m curious what brand and models you are using for your recharging units and why? Also, do you have a preferred brand and type of rechargeable battery and why? Are lithiums in mainstream use yet? I haven&#39;t seen any units available yet for those.<br /><br />Thanks<br />Everett Petit<br />Covenant Fellowship, Glen Mills PALePetitMaisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16746975699646821138noreply@blogger.com
