Saber/Astro Saber battery question
Kilgore: Smell that? You smell that?
Lance: What?
Kilgore: Napalm, son. Nothing in the world smells like that.
Kilgore: I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...

Re: Saber/Astro Saber battery question
I've been buying and using a Li-Ion battery from Cut Rate Batteries with great success. It's 1900 mAh and about two inches high, and looks exactly like the Motorola 8118 battery. Cost is about $72 plus shipping. I have four of them spread among my Sabers and Astro Sabers and it's a great comfort to know that when you pick up the radio even after having it sit there for several weeks that its battery will work okay.
