WHY YOU NEED THIS:
On wildland fire incidents finding power for your battery charger can be problematic to say the least. With a AA Â battery clamshell you can load 8 AA batteries and keep right on working. Â Slide the alkaline battery case open to accept (8) AA batteries, then close the case and use the loaded clamshell, just as you would the original OEM battery. Â AA Alkaline batteries discharge at a higher rate than rechargeable batteries under high current usage, such as keying up your radio. This means that clamshells discharge rates are even more difficult to calculate than rechargeable batteries. Â Under a 5/5/90 duty cycle the clamshell loaded with brand new quality AA alkaline batteries will last about as long as a 2,200mAh rechargeable battery, but those same AA batteries loaded into a clamshell and put into service on a radio that undergoes a 10/10/80 duty cycle will only last about as long as a 1400mAh rechargeable battery.Â
