Icom batteries
Guys, seem to recall something a few weeks ago but didn't "need to know" then about Icom batteries.
My 10 yr old ICOM radio now needs a new battery!
It is the large rectangular model (A2?)
I'm in the UK, anyone know of a cheap reliable source for replacements?
Thanks
Stik

Try Combat Alexander http://www.combatalexander.co.uk/cgi...Catalog/28339. I don't think they sell Icom batteries but they will re-cell them, certainly the A3 ones.
I had one done with 1000 NiMH cells for less than 30 quid. Lasts for ages and no memory effect.

ICOM no longer supply the old type battery packs.
I simply re-celled mine with NiMH (NiCd also available but why bother). Tandy can supply the cells at a very reasonable price.
