battery

I have an LPE 200 and one of the battery contacts appears to be broken. It is only about 10% of the length of the other 2 pins. It is the +ve battery contact on the radio itself. Anyone got some tips for how to fix? Thanks, Rob

Hi everyone, I may not be posting this in the correct threat (I apologize if so), but I am looking for some advice. I just recently purchased a Motorola XTS 3000 off of eBay. I am trying to program it and I am running into a few problems. My first problem is, there is a local P25 repeater...

Recently, I acquired a couple TK-250 radios with the KSC-17 normal-rate chargers. I put them on the chargers today, but was wondering, when the TK250s are finished charging, does the red light turn off on the charger? Or, should they only be left on the charger for a certain amount of hours...

With so many types of batteries on the market now (AGM, LIo, lead acid, etc.) I'm at a loss as to what is best to use as a battery backup for my ham radio transceivers. I want to set up a battery back-up, maybe a small bank of batteries, that will be outdoors with the power lines run through...

Does anyone know of a charge controller or battery charger that accepts multiple types of inputs? For example a charger that can handle 12-18v input from say a solar panel or if 120v generator or grid electricity to charge a 12v Deep Cycle SLA Battery?

I have a new BCD396XT (a few weeks old) which during the first use cycle, seemed to receive 8-10 hours then of course "low battery" alert worked. Then, the past few days, I noticed all my P25 banks were scanning but no reception. When I checked the control channels, all I would see on the...

Hello, I am new here and appreciate any help or advice that anyone has to offer. A few weeks ago we bought a number of brand new Motorola Mag One A8 two way radios. We are a security company and some of our accounts don't have a place for us to keep our radios so the site Supervisor will...

Hey, Yesterday I had the Belt Clip part snapped off the battery and broke the plastic that holds the belt clip. what are my options.

All, Background: I just recently have started looking into Ham radios, but as I haven't completed my exam yet I'm only in 'lurk mode'. I'm looking to use the radio primarily as a backup for when camping or traveling in areas of no cell phone reception (emergencies or just for fun). Over the...

Hello. I've had a CB in my truck for almost a year now. I originally had it wired in to the fuse box which worked great until I started to get alternator whine. I then wired it directly to the battery, which got rid of the whine but brought on some other problems. My radio works fine when I'm...

Ok, so I sold this PSR-500 on Ebay to a seemingly competent person in West Virginia. (maybe that was my mistake??) She receives it, says it is scanning, but a few days later says it is not working. I'm like "whatever", and I tell her to send it back. When it arrives back, it's wet... greasy...

I was just curious as to what the appropriate IMPRES charger would be for a lithium ion battery for my XTS 2500. The battery im looking at is the: NNTN7335B NNTN7335 - Motorola IMPRES IP67 Battery - LiIon 2700 mAh Would the WPLN411AR charger be appropriate for that type of battery?

Bought a scanner on ebay, said it came with the 6 AA, but only the single battery pack.... In desparate need of the 6 AA pack. Thank you in advance for any help! Walter

Greetings, I have a Bearcat SC 150 with a bad battery. The battery number is BP-120 4.8 vdc 600 mAh. Where can I find a replacement battery?...Perhaps Radio Shack ? Dave

I have a Uniden BC 200 xlt that is still working well... we use it for storm reports and mostly 2 meter Ham listening. This old standby has the original battery... you guessed it... it does not hold a charge! We only use this as it is plugged into AC for a half hour or so at a time. Here is...

Hi evryone, I have done a search and I can't really find the answer I am looking for. I recently bought a XTS3000 ASTRO, and I have an (annoying) issue with the battery. It came with a moto battery which works fine, but when I use my friends battery (not moto / impres brand) the low volt...

My Pro 97 charges (I think probably short circuits them since they get so hot) my batteries when I have it plugged in even with the black nonchargeable battery case. I put a meter on the two connectors, where the battery connectors meet the radio, when it was plugged in and got about 9 volts...

Any ideas out there on how to create the 13.8v DC, 750ma power required to run a Bearcat scanner during a power outage, without using an automotive or wet cell battery,, preferably using AA, C or D batteries ?

Ok I was looking around on ebay and saw these eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices That gave me the idea to make a large battery pack out of them. With 48 3.7v 5000mah aa cells, put them 4 in series for 14.8v, 48 divided by 4 = 12...

Is it OK to mix NiCd and NiMH AA batteries in my scanner? I do not charge them in the scanner I have a battery charge and know you have to charge them separately. I have three NiCd and one NiMH battery and wondered if it would be OK to use them in my scanner together.
