BC296 started beeping at 5:45 PMlockoutspecialist2 said:To all of the 296,250 and other Uniden scanner owners that radios uses the original battery pack. I had a battery pack made for $15 including the batteries 4 of the AA 2500mah standard size nickel-metal hydride rechargeable. It is larger than the original pack but will fit in to the radio. I fully charged it last night. started running the 296 at 9:15 AM and is still going strong at 1:15 PM. I will post when its DEAD.
I have 3 of these handhelds ever since they came out. I never have gotten more than 30 mins out of a charge. 8 1/2 hours is great .Had it made at a store called Batteries Plus They used the same white type of wrap placed them at the same angles and used the same connection from the old pack.safetyobc said:That is awesome for a BC296D. I had a BC250D that would only last about 4 hours tops using little backlight. That was from brand new! And no digital card so you have definately improved your battery life!
Thanks I have tried to do it myself But I gave up so I let the pros do it for $15dlbrock said:I made my own and have been using it for about a year with the 296D. I get about 8 - 9 hours on mine. It was a pain to solder them together because I had to do it by myself but if you had another person it would help. I wrapped white medical tape around mine.
