Furgang for the Transmitter

[Tony Stillman]

Yes, they have been working just fine with the Duralites, which were the
same voltage.  Just keep in mind that you MUST use the special chargers for
these cells.  There have been explosions and fires due to charging them with
incorrect chargers..........
