battery

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.

I have an old BC 200xlt scanner that has served me well since it was given to me used about a decade ago. In that time, the battery pack has never held a charge. What is my best option for making this a portable scanner again? As I see it, I can either: a) attempt to replace the rechargeable...

Hello, I just replaced the internal battery on my ICOM R1 and was wondering how long it should last before it needs recharging. The battery is a 300mA 7.2 nicad pack. After I got it I charged it for 14 to 16 hours using the ICOM charger and then set it on a FM station and let it run until the...
