I know the 92 is a 6 cell, so that's out.

I know I could download the parts lists and compare the numbers, but I'm sure someone here knows.

I have a 93. Do the AA drop in cases from the 95, 96, or any other models fit?

Thanks :)

OK, thanks.

Does anyone know if It's the same case that fits the 93?

Pro 96 holds 4 double AA

Pro 96 holds 4 double AA battries. I have Pro 92 that holds 6. I am not sure about the others.

My Pro-79's battery case fits perfectly with the 96, and vice versa.

I am pretty sure the 93/95 is the same as the 96, etc. The easiest way is to look up the parts number at the Radio Shack web site.

You can start from this page of all scanners:
http://support.radioshack.com/productinfo/ProductResults.asp?Name=Radio_Scanners&ID=004001001

The part numbers for the 95/96 are different. I wouldn't be surprised if they all have different part numbers. I think they are identical - they just have different part numbers.

I just relised my local RS has all the scanners on a shelf where the customers can play with them. I could just take the battery cases out and try :) The manager is a friendly ham who has everything except the 2096 in stock. Ya gotta love a RS with a selection :D

Thanks again everybody. I was prepared to cross-referamnce the part numbers this weekend at work if I had to.

I took your word for this when you posted it; however, while looking up something else, I noticed you were mistaken. The following is extracted from the detailed parts lists:
Code:
Pro-95:
12228805  HOLDER ASSY FOR RECHG. BT  HB90252    
12228813  HOLDER ASSY BATTERY        HB90253
Code:
Pro-96:
12228805  HOLDER ASSY FOR RECHG. BT  HB90252    
12228813  HOLDER ASSY BATTERY        HB90253

After searching the parts lists, I see they don't even list a part number for the 93 battery case.
The online parts list for the 93 is fouled up a little. It has a couple of lines run together. In any case the 93 and 95 use the same battery holders.

That's odd. I got my info from my local Radio Shack manager. Back when the scanner was new, I asked about another pack, and I was given a number that was not going to be available for a month. I asked if it was compatible with any other packs, so he looked up the number for the PRO-95 (I heard the packs were the same) and said it was different. I even got the number it showed, and it was different!

I must have gotten bad info (I know - from a Radio Shack? UNHEARD OF! :wink: ). Somewhere I have the part number he gave me. I'll have to see if I can find it. The holder for the '96 was also more expensive.

Thanks for correcting my info, Lou. I sit corrected.
