Fremont, California Date: Mon, 8 Feb 1993 22:41:31 GMT Lines: 50 These two companies sell Nickel Hydride batteries. Both sell AA and C sizes, and both cost exactly the same (Hmmmm) They call themselves "Alternative Energy" suppliers, which means they sell solar (photovoltaic or PV) panels, and other stuff like 12 VDC to 120 VAC inverters, etc. I've bought lots of stuff from both. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUNELCO 100 Skeets St. P.O.

If you think Clinton may ruin the world by being too _conservative_, you'll fit right in :-) I like their merchandise, not their preaching. Real Goods 966 Mazzoni St. Ukiah, CA 95482-3471 800-762-7325 50-105 AA 1.1 AH $ 8 50-104 C 3.5 AH $16 catalog includes this statement - "a little fatter than AA batteries, may not fit in very tight spaces" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I got some AAs from Real Goods, and they fit in my ZEOS, but unfortunately, I can't get them to work. Voltage is 1.35, same to Radio Shack AA NiCd.s, which work fine. -- Pete Carpenter pete@cirrus.com Talk about your plenty, talk about your ills, One man gathers what another man spills. - Robert Hunter
