NOTE: The above estimates are based on a typical operating scenarios and an average cost of $70 for a BA-5590/U battery plus a $4 hazardous disposal fee. They are also compared with the cost of a BB-390/U rechargeable battery at $269 each and a universal battery charger at $562 each plus $109 for the adapter. The estimates may vary according to a specific operating environment.
