These Panasonic rechargeable NiM-H batteries are probably
the best you can buy, and an excellent value. They are high
capacity and hold their charge exceptionally well. And if
you watch for deals, they go on sale a few times a year!

I have had this radio for about 5.5 years now, and I have
found it to be solid and reliable. I live in a region that has
a number of tornado alerts each year, as well as other
weather related alerts. This radio does a very good job
of providing warnings, and monitoring the situations as
they are in progress. I am impressed by how long the
battery holds its charge (when not in use). I top it up
about every 6 months. This is a very good choice as
an emergency weather alert radio.
