Some people say alkaline batteries are the best choice for two-way radios, but others think rechargeable lithium-ion types are much better for daily use. I’m trying to decide which battery type to go with because I use two-way radios almost every day at my job and can’t afford to constantly change batteries or have them die suddenly. Has anyone noticed a big difference between battery types in terms of actual performance and convenience? What do you find works better in real work conditions, especially if the radios are used heavily? I’m also curious about how long these batteries last before needing replacement and if there are any common issues with certain types. Does anyone have experience balancing cost and reliability when picking batteries for two-way radios?
