Joe,
I considered a rechargeable transponder too for multiple cars but was talked
out of it. I'd suggest going for a wired unit and an inline connector if you
need to switch cars. (My wife and I shared one for a year, then bought a second
transponder.)
1. They take a few days to charge. You must remember to plug it into the AC
adapter by Wednesday if you're headed out to a race Friday. Experience shows an
overnight charge at the track will not get you through the day. And Murphy says
you'll forget.
2. They never turn off so you have to recharge them each use. Therefore in and
out of the car constantly.
3. They are a sealed unit. You have to rip the case apart yourself or send it
in to get the battery replaced. Midwestern Council bought 24 rental units in
2003 and the batteries were mostly gone a few years ago.
Regards,
Gary Schneider

Subject: [Fot] Rechargeable Transponder
Looking at buying a rechargeable transponder. Thinking of rechargeable
to use in multiple cars. Any opinions, pro or con, before I make the
purchase? Thanks in advance.
