I use 1.5 Volt Energizer Titanium AA's from Sams Club. Only had one problem with the old handsets and Kevin gave me some tips to avoid the issue... (Pull the spring out a little, wire brush the threads and clean the contacts with an eraser at regular intervals.) After that I did that I never had a problem in warm or cold water.

I have the new handsets now, but won't get to use them until April.

Question... Is there a battery tester that can not only check the voltage, but also check them under load to see if they OK to use?
