I have been using the 1800 mAh AAs from
www.greenbatteries.com
since father's day.
I have charged them in the 817 as
well as in the 2 hour charger from
greenbatteries.
When removing them and reinstalling
them, it isn't any more tedious than
with AA alkalines. And, they charge
so fast in the sparate charger that
I almost always use it.
I have made DX QSO's with these internal
cells with Europe on 20M/SSB using a
dipole. As well as numerous CW&PSK QSO's.
The voltage is obivously low (9.6V) versus
the alkalines (12V) , but the operating time
is much-much longer.
Also, be advised that you have to
charge/discharge these cells at least three
to four times before they give their true
performance.
