    Excal 2 Battery Questions

    Does anyone use the AA battery pack? How well does it work? How may hours of use do you get out of it? Is it as waterproof at the rechargeable battery pod? Should I get one as a replacement for what I have or buy a new rechargeable? Sorry for so many questions. Mark

    Day for Foreign Coins
