I have used rechargeable batteries in my Lynx II in the past. For some reason the actual rechargeable-type AA batts are a tad thicker in diameter, meaning it's a very tight fit to insert 6 batts in the LYNX II batt compartment and it is hard as H*ll to get the batt door back on (or back off).
That got me to thinking, how about constructing my own battery pack. Get a 6-cell battery holder for AA batteries, then wire a barrel-type connector lead to it.. Wha la, cheap-o battery pack.
