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, Barry - N4BUQ

Re: OT: Looking for help with Kenwood Handheld
Yes - It is a 12mm (maybe 12.5mm) battery. From what I'm seeing, the solder tabs on those are much more in line with the ones on my battery. Thanks so much for setting me straight on that! Barry -

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. [email protected]> wrote:
