Problem I have is the AA battery case for my New FT60 will not close when good
hi cap AA's are in it - only alkalines - the NiMh are just a little too big. I have Powerex
2500 Mah cells.

I don't buy replacements for stock 1400mAh battery on my older FT-60 (circa 2007).? I have a AA case and use Eneloops religiously.? The only time the stock battery is used is while the Eneloops are charging.? The original 1400mAh?battery is starting to go low much?quicker now than it did when it was new.? So, I'll toss it soon and buy six more 2000mAhEneloops for the AA case.? Much more reliable, longer transmit life?and don't have to worry about overcharging with the wall wart.? I have two separate NiMh chargers that accommodate 4 cells each. In the long run, I find this more economical than buying a "quality" replacement for the original battery.
