For those of you who use rechargeable batteries, how long does rechargeable batteries last on a hunt? I've used them many many years ago and discovered they only lasted about an hour or so and they quickly lost their charge to power my unit. I use 9 volts. If it is cheaper in the long run and if the rechargeable batteries now have longer life, I would consider getting them. Regular alkaline batteries are so expensive now, so it getting to be an expensive hobby as my detector only gets about 20 hours of life out of them. If the rechargeable batteries can last for 6 or 7 hours on a hunt, I'd consider the investment. However, if they only have a couple of hours per hunt, I'd stick with alkaline batteries. Any opinions. Thanks
