Title: Why can't Midland make durable batteries?
Review: The NiMH batteries that Midland supplies with these radios have deplorable life cycles. They're like the poster child for planned obsolescence, designed to fade after even minimal use or standby. Ridiculous. And the aftermarket is no better, so you suck it up and either use alkalines, or some use the rechargeable AA's. No panacea, however.
