Thanks, Peter. I've gone through a couple sets of lithium CRV3s. They last but they're expensive. I have a supply of alkalines that I want to use up. I've been wondering about rechargables after that. You're saying a week of steady use out of a set of rechargables? And what makes for better or worse in chargers? Cost? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
