How to Choose Two-Way Radios?
About Two-way Radio Battery: Typical two-way radio units utilize standard AA or AAA batteries. Some models come with their own rechargeable battery packs. Most two-way radio units will operate for a full day of solid use on one set of new or fully charged batteries. Many two-way radio users power their radios with rechargeable Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) or Ni-Cd (nickel-cadmium) batteries. These batteries present a highly economical option, as they can be recharged hundreds of times using affordable chargers that plug in to standard household outlets. In general, the higher a radio’s power output, the more quickly it will drain batteries. Some radio models have a feature that sends them into a low power; battery-saver mode after a certain amount of time has elapsed between broadcasts.
