Hi-Eric, I have been wanting to ask you this question for a long time now,I can never quite understand why??-in all the machines that you make,which are very-very good machines,there is no doubting that.Why-you dont make full use of all the new Hi- powered NiMH batteries available on the market today,even the AA ones are from 1500 ma,to 1650 ma capacity,No memory,top up at any time,also available in C & D cells,etc,which are only slightly more expensive than ni-cads,and try to get some weight off some of your units, the battery weight alone in the Deepstar makes it weigh a ton,and spoils the whole thing because of that,at one time you were moving in the direction of lightweight low power drain units,but to me -you seem to be moving in the wrong direction totaly,with todays modern NiMH batteries available everywhere, could you not aim towards the extra power and capacity being used to reduce some of the weight on the Deepstar,or better still,get the batteries right out of there and into a seperate plug in unit on your waist belt or something,to save people developing a crick in their necks.All your units would benefit and no doubt improve sales if you could slim your battery weights down a bit.
