This week, Paul K2FX discusses ins and outs of rechargeable batteries,
including Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad), Sealed Lead Acid (SLA), Nickel-Metal
Hydride (NiMH) and Lithium Ion (Li-ion) batteries.

Tim WB2PAY warns of the potentially-explosive results of overcharging
batteries. Mike N2QDK, a professional photographer who chews through
batteries without remorse, highly
recommends Sanyo's Eneloop AA and AAA-sized NiMH rechargeable
batteries, keeping batteries in sets based on use and age, and
trickle-charging whenever possible to maximize the number of charge
cycles.
