The production information panel indicated the 2 set Onn walk-in-talkies would come with rechargeable batteries(3 AA NiMh) per unit.
IT LIED!
The 2 set were delivered with alkaline batteries(NOT RECHARGABLE).
I hope someone has not load the alkaline batteries in, and tried to recharge them!
DANGEROUS! CAN OVER HEAT AND CAUSE PROBLEMS!

My advice, Pay more for a set the cones with lithium-ion batteries already installed.

Products used:
Still looking for a good set of 2-way for home use.

Look around before committing money to the PAY TO WATCH services.

I pay(ed) for a 'no ad: subscription couple of years back. While it has been good for movies & shows I MAY want to watch, I have found several free sites that have content Netflix doesn't have including some on Netflix.

I have even found 2023 content on a big social media site.

Lasts months new additions to Netflix were on several free sites for several months.

FREE CONTENT IS OUT THERE.

Some of my thoughts as a supplemental oxygen user that hates to drag a heavy tank around.

AS ALWAYS, ASK YOUR PHYSICIAN OR PULMONOLOGIST FOR ADVICE & Rx if needed.

1- Know your supplemental oxygen requirements (L/min) at rest & under exertion.
2- most at home units are 5 L/min maximum. Need more? Then tanks are what you need.
3- Portable units are 'pulse flow' & specify battery time, usually stated as "As long as x number of hours"
But 1 L/min May be the 9 hours listed, if you need 3 or 4 or more that number decreases at an alarming rate. 4 L/min largest batteries may only be 3 or less hours. So again, KNOW YOUR REQUIREMENTS & USAGE.
4- So ask the supplier for battery usage per hour for your oxygen needs. IF they will even tell you.

5- Home units provide continuous oxygen flow. Again if you need more than 5 L/min, Tanks will be the way to go.
6- Home units usually are heavy. 18 to 30+ pounds. And can be very noisy!
7- To my knowledge most home units DO NOT HAVE REMOTE controls.
In this day and age of electronics that IMO is absolutely necessary.
Who wants to get up & go to where the heavy units is located to change oxygen setting?

In summary,
KNOW WHAT YOU NEED
ASK SPECIFIC QUESTIONS
KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO SPEND

I tend to avoid DME's(durable medical equipment providers)as they will continue to charge a high monthly payment even way beyond the cost of portable & home supplemental oxygen equipment. But that my May be the way to go from a maintenance standpoint.

I was 'that guy', bought 3 of these. Web says wet filter, fill with water charge, then turn on. DID ALL THAT!
What web site does not tell you is that they won't t cool down a space with water alone. MUST WET & FREEZE FILTER! SHOULD USE ICE COLD WATER! SHOULD USE ICE CUBES IN TRAY!
Like i said, AVOID AT ALL COST. RETURN POLICY IS A FRIGGIN' FARCE!
So in essence, I PISSED AWAY OVER $200 on a product that does not do as specified on the web site,
AGAIN, TOTAL RIP-OFF STAY AWAY.
