If you are like me, you won't remember unless you set up a system for changing batteries. By having some sort of system, you won't be left out in the middle of nowhere without electical power. I always change the small button batteries on my birthday. These batteries will last longer than this, but why take chances? For a few dollars you can be sure that things will stay working. I dump nicads every two years. I don't know how many times I have recharged my nicads, but have noticed that some time after two years they stop holding their charge. So, I throw them out and buy new ones on my birthdays that occur during even years. -- ---------------- Marty Sasaki net: sasaki@harvard.{arpa,uucp} Havard University Science Center phone: 617-495-1270 One Oxford Street Cambridge, MA 02138
