Well, the www.batteriesamerica.com site is no longer listing their 4/5A private label cells, just the Sanyos (HR-AUL, $4.25 each, 2150 mAh). i always buy 'em at the hamfests, they tend to discount heavily (most amateur radio types are pretty cheeep!). if you do a google search, you may turn up some other suppliers. Just make sure you get them with tabs! BTW, that site has 2000 mAh AA cells for $3.50......extrapolating that figure gives me the mythical 2700 mAh 4/5ths A cell that I bought some time back, and which disappeared after that one purchase. Wonder if those cells will be offered again? That would increase run time on a Duo by at least 20%. Andrew (And apologies to MadDog, thought you had a battery swapout page on your website.
