Are flat top cells compatible with zBitx battery holder or are button tops required?


 

I was asked this question on zBITX:

"Are flat top cells compatible with the zBitx battery holder or are button tops required? Got my radio on order and want to get some batteries before it arrives. Appreciate your comments."

I know that VU2ESE was using flat top cells as I read it in one of the earlier emails.

Dear JJ,

Thanks a lot for the quick response. What about the compatibility of the battery box???Are button tops required?

I have never used the flat top cells. That is why this question.

I have used both flat and button top 18650s in the holder without issue.


 

Thanks a lot Vince for your valuable input.
