Weight is almost always an issue :) Especially as it starts to get
hotter. If they worked it just seems like a quick way to shed almost
an ounce and a half.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the info.<br>

<div>2 years ago I try to use one. The radio lost so much range that
was unsafe. We checked with two other brands of radios with similar
results. I am not sure about the 2.4 systems. My advice is keep using
separate batteries. You could go down to half the capacity you are
using now if weight is an issue.. </div>
