That'd be awesome with all the delays happening with the larger battery for the early adopters!

FYI that Universal Radio has updated their website listing for the Uniden EBC100 external charger for the SDS100. Previously there was no price listed other than T.B.A. (To Be Announced) but that has now been updated to $59.95 (plus $8.95 flat rate shipping for orders totaling $50.01 to $100).

You can also now place an order for the EBC100 (Universal Order #6568) by clicking the "Order" box on the following webpage (but it doesn't state if they are currently in stock and ready for shipment): https://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/scanners/6100.html

It will be nice to have but until I get my big battery and cover I will not be getting one.

Any word on when we can just buy the batteries?

Universal Radio is expecting stock of the larger battery and charger on 11/20/18. The order button is live on their website.

$70 ?
No one thinks that’s a tad pricey for a charger ?

The price includes a drop in battery charger and a large battery.

So if I already have a small batt & the large will get here in the distant future I would just want the charger.
So a stand alone should be $35....?

Amazon just updated my order for the bigger battery and charger with a estimated delivery date of December 7th 2018- January 28th 2019 for anyone that wanted to know.

 

[Frankhappyg]

Hopefully they sell just the charger. I don’t need a third battery.

For those looking to purchase the EBC100 charger, Universal Radio has now raised their price to $69.95 (plus $8.95 shipping). Their price was previously $59.95 (plus $8.95 shipping).

https://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/scanners/6100.html

With this new price increase at Universal Radio, you would be better off (price wise anyway) now ordering it from Amazon for $69.99 with FREE shipping included as I linked above in this thread.

NOTE: Uniden has also raised their price for the EBC100 battery charger to $69.99 on the Uniden website (previous Uniden price was $59.99): https://www.uniden.com/catalog/communication/radio-scanner-accessories/

Want small battery and small cover or door!

Everybody wants the charger and most want the large battery.
My SDS came with the large battery.

I'd buy a second battery along with the charger but what I really need and want now is the Small battery and needed battery door or cover.
I hate the huge hump sticking out of the radio so it can hold the large battery.

Does anyone know if the original small battery cover or door will be or is available?
I mainly use mine hooked to power and don't want the huge hump of the large battery cover. About all the large battery does for me is maybe give the SDS a bit more stability when standing up on a flat surface.

What about protective cases, will most make them for battery belly models and a model for the original small battery?

Universal Radio has the large capacity battery (Uniden battery # BT-954 with 5400 mAh capacity) currently listed on their website as "T.B.A.-To Be Announced."

The small capacity battery (Uniden battery # BT-953 with 3600 mAh capacity) is currently listed as "The future availability of this early battery type is not known."

Just a heads up that as of today (10-22-2018) Amazon has lowered their price for the Uniden EBC100 charger to $57.05 with FREE shipping included. It currently lists an estimated delivery date between 12-10-2018 and 01-31-2019.

Great question. I know ScannerMaster recently listed several types of cases (nylon, soft leather & hard leather) for the SDS100, COMING SOON, and all tailored for the big battery door. I haven't heard of anyone making a case for the early adopter model. In fact, it seems that the manufacturer's of such cases were waiting for the big battery to come out in order to get exact dimensions. I am sure someone will offer a case for the original model. Beware of cases for the 436 that they say will fit - they do NOT. I ordered the 436 case from ScannerMaster and it does not fit the SDS, way too tight, buttons not aligned. I suppose it would do in a pinch but I would avoid buying that particular style for the SDS100. Some say there is a case available at Bearcat Warehouse made by Uniden for the 436 that will fit the SDS but I haven't heard too much about it.
