I don't own Energizer (ENR) or Duracell (G) stock and I don't think Jay
does
either. We just stopped by the closest battery booth and that's what was
readily available for alkalines.


Yeah -- for some bizarre reason, the guy who sold me the ICOM said that
Duracell brand alkaline batteries were just a tad too long to fit in the
ICOM battery box properly.

I haven't measured them with a micrometer (yet!), but it sure sounded goofy
to Greg and me. Nevertheless, I didn't risk it and bought some "Brand X"
alkaline batteries from the next "Batteries Plus"-kinda place we ran across.
Even *those* batteries fit quite tightly -- but they work just fine.
