 The news time in Prescott is 6.58. I'll be back with a look at your weather forecast right after this. Hi, this is Sid Wilson at Batteries, Batteries, Batteries with the facts on rechargeable batteries. Most of the batteries we use these days are rechargeable, but contrary to belief, rechargeable batteries will not last all your life. They last one to three years depending on how you take care of them. Two important things to remember. Do not overcharge them and do not let them sit dead. And since rechargeable batteries are not inexpensive, it's worth protecting your investments.
