Thank-you for the suggestion.
I did call Ace Hardware and they referred me to Batteries Plus. I called them and they do carry my brand of cordless rechargeable batteries.
The dense one (that would be me) doesn't know how to get there. I'll find it as I recently got a new GPS. The price is $20 bucks each, plus tax.
He said I could have dead cells in my batteries.
omg, dead cells. Sounds a little ominous to me.
thx again....
