Re: OT: Looking for help with Kenwood Handheld

 

I didn't know such a thing was being made.? Nice to know.? Hopefully it won't come to that and I can get a battery with tabs that will work (and I think I see some being offered).

Thanks,

Spot-weld the tabs yourself:

Thanks for the tip!

If you have a Batteries-Plus, or Batteries & Bulbs store near you, they might have one. They have the ability to spot-weld tabs on about any battery.

This is the only amateur radio group of which I'm a member so I'm looking for a bit of help.? Is there an appropriate group for older Kenwood hand-helds?

I have a TH-28A that needs an internal lithium battery and am having no luck finding a suitable replacement.? If someone can point me to a group or, even better, point me to a source for those batteries, I would appreciate it.

Note that I can find all sorts of lithium coin cells with solder tabs but none of the ones I find match the configuration of the one in my TH-28A.

Thanks,
