Testimonials From Our Customers
[The
SteriPEN worked without fail even on the most questionable of water.I wanted
to thank you for making such a wonderful product. I just got back from South
America where I backpacked from the southern tip of the Patagonia Andes all
the way up through Bolivia and into Peru. The SteriPEN worked without fail
even on the most questionable of water (which is found in Bolivia). The ease
of use and peace of mind it provided were invaluable. Thanks again for making
a great product.]

SteriPEN� uses four AA batteries. The number of doses
between batteries is dictated by battery type. Standard alkaline AA�s provide
anywhere from 20 to 40 16-oz doses. Lithium disposable camera-type batteries
give about 140 16-oz doses but do not function well in cold temperatures.
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries are a great all-around
choice. While slightly heavier than the other types, they perform well in cold
temperatures and provide about 150 16-oz doses at temperatures above 32�F. The
NiMH batteries add great economy, too, as they can be recharged hundreds of
times � even with solar chargers.
