Re: My FT-60 battery
Received Eneloop Pro AA's yesterday, once my FNB-83 depletes, I'll charge/top off the Panasonic cells, place them in the Yaesu battery box, then do what I can to document usability. I don't transmit

Re: My FT-60 battery
I dug through my stash, and it appears I bought a Yaesu FBA-25 at some point. It was still new in the plastic. I've been using Panasonic Eneloop Pro AA NiMH rechargeables in the field for about a year

Re: My FT-60 battery

Re: My FT-60 battery
I bought a FNB-83x (higher capacity) from Batteries America. I don¡¯t use it for ham use AT ALL, or hardly at all. I use it mostly as a scanner for hearing the fire departments and forestry folks.

Re: My FT-60 battery
Good afternoon When my trusty FT60 battery needed replaced a few years ago, I bought another FNB-83. I see prices have not really changed. If it not's broke, don't fix it. I find with camera batteries

Re: My FT-60 battery
I really don't use my 60r much, but still like to have a good battery. Don't want to change chargers. I would be happy with another NI-MH. Thank you.

Re: My FT-60 battery
I believe if you get a Lithium battery you will need a different charger. I did. How much do you talk on the radio that the battery might be a problem? I just worked the Pittsburgh Marathon and talked
