The BATSE instrument aboard the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory viewed GRS 1915+105 and GRO J1655-40 almost continuously from 1991 to 2000. Both of these objects are galactic microquasar candidates, and were observed to undergo repeated gamma-ray outbursts. We present results from the full nine-year BATSE earth-occultation database using the JPL data analysis package EBOP (Enhanced BATSE Occultation Package). Light curves with 1-day resolution are presented showing flux histories during the times when the sources were flaring. Also presented is the time evolution of the 35-1000 keV spectra from the rising, peak, and falling portions of the flares.
