I rolled up some of the clad I dug last year and bought 4 Fujicell Nickel Metal Hydride 260mah, 8.4 volt rechargeable batteries. I already had a recharger that would accept 2 9v batteries at a time. These batteries set me back $20, but they can be recharged up to 1,000 times, and don't acquire a memory like the old Nickel Cadiums used to. I've already put 6 actual hours of use on the first set which are still going strong, and have the others waiting to swap out. I'm pleased with the performance of these batteries, and am elated with the savings I'll make as compared to the cost of Akaline batteries. I figure the cost of two rechargeables in the 202 per use will cost about 15 cents, and that includes the electricity cost to recharge them. If you use a machine that uses 9v batteries like the Bounty Hunters, you might do well to look into the option of rechargeable batteries, especially if you hunt alot like I do.
