The batteries that power the 4-watt UHF BEECN radios work extremely well for our purposes. The batteries also power the flashlight/lantern in each cache. Here are some battery factoids:
 
* Disposable batteries lose about 1% of remaining energy per month if stored at room temperature. When stored in cool or cold conditions disposable batteries last '''''much''''' longer than if stored at room temperature.
* When disposable batteries are used in cool or cold conditions, they use up more of their power than when they’re used at room temperature.
* All BEECN radios and batteries are stored in cool or cold conditions – most of the storage locations stay very cool, even in summer.
* Talking on the radio draws much more power than listening.
