RE: the following characteristic of the Apelco 520 - << after I take it off the charger, it very quickly (within minutes) goes from 3 dashes on the indicator to two. Does this indicate a lame battery? >> I'll second the experience of a couple of others on this - it's normal operation for the Apelco. I like my Apelco 520 very much. Its instruction booklet said that this would happen (drop back from three indicator dashes to two dashes quickly). I've had the unit for almost 5 months now, I use it almost entirely with the rechargable pack, and for my useage I get plenty of battery power from it. In my particular sample the AAA battery pack fits into the unit easily. I bought a solar battery charger and rechargeable batteries, and have never needed the charger. BTW - if anyone needs to replace an Apelco, it's made by Raytheon, so Raytheon is the company to contact.
