Re: [Elecraft] OT: Energy cells (batteries)
Rick if you keep them charged they will never give problems either I have Lithium in several devices of mine. 73' Fred/N0AZZ -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Rick Dettinger Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2013 1:57 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] OT: Energy cells (batteries) I have experienced problems with corrosion (white deposits) in battery compartments of electrical gear.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Energy cells (batteries)
Rick: I recommend the Energizer Ultimates. I have never seen corrosion with them but that doesn't mean it can't happen. They give roughly twice the power at half the weight. However they are pricy. 73, Fred, AE6QL -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Rick Dettinger Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2013 11:57 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] OT: Energy cells (batteries) I have experienced problems with corrosion (white deposits) in battery compartments of electrical gear.
