I have the slightly older version of the Icom-M1. I've had it for 
about five years and also use it to check weather intermittently on 
trips. My battery recently failed (they are around $79US to replace) 
after a total usage time of probably two hours over the years. I'd 
also love to hear any suggestions for treating the battery right.

Is there an NiMH option available for the M1? I looked around on 
Icom's website and couldn't find any other battery options (AA etc) 
aside from the NiCad.
