Performed a full database load speed test of the SDS150 vs SDS100. Both SD Cards are new Samsung PRO Endurance 32GB MicroSDXC. I created a new profile in Sentinel and loaded only the Full Database (11/02/2025) with all service types selected. Changed the display name to match the scanner the card was inserted into and powered the on. Getelman, Start your Engines!

Thanks for that. Much faster. Traveling, I sometimes use the full database with GPS and filtering out excess systems with service types. This will be a huge improvement. I expect local systems will be nearly instantaneous.

Does the door clip fit the 100 as well? Wondering if the 150 door clip is better made?
My guess, no. It's shorter to accommodate the charging terminals on the 150, by the looks of it.
.
The battery itself, based on the cover, is longer and narrower, and have new terminals. I don't think you can switch a battery for the 100 into the 150, or vice versa.

I know the batteries can't be switched. I just asking cause the 100 door clip was breaking. I wish that one guy was still around to buy a few more of them.

I can honestly say I have never broken a battery clip on mine or any beta SDS100 and I have #21 from the first production run.

My beta SDS150 is #18 and no issues to report on the battery clip on that one or the engineering sample I received in March.

Mine broke, as well as one tab on the cover. Turns out it was an expanding battery. Replaced the battery clip and superglued the tab back on. Got rid of the swelled battery. No longer charge the battery in the SDS100. Going well so far.

I must be the only weird one left—I actually have the SDS100 external battery charger, but I always just plug in the USB cable at night and charge it right in the radio!:ROFLMAO:

That was a weak point with the SDS100, my battery cover eventually broke even though I was aware of this issue and was being very careful. Surprisingly, some super glue worked as a fix but I bought a couple 3-D printed battery cover replacements from a vendor on ebay.

Have an early production SDS100 (one that came with the smaller battery) and used the included coupon to get the bigger battery. I also bought the charger cradle that came with an extra battery.

Recently checked the status of the batteries and they've held up remarkably well. Still in good shape and haven't experienced any "swelling" issues.
