You are in luck. There is no reason to waste your time making a battery pack. This company makes a perfect duplicate of the original battery pack and they do not charge much for it. Anyone with one of these scopes should write their contact information down. I have used them for years. They are excellent. You wouldn't know their replacement from the original except their replacement batteries hold a greater charge than the original Tek batteries. This info is in the archives somewhere. But here is the information on the battery replacement company again: Dennis Tillman W7PF -----Original Message-----

They are so inexpensive and so perfect it isn't worth it to try to make your own. The only unusual thing about them is you have to ask for a quote and wait for a reply since they only make these when they get an order for them. They don't stock them. Use the "contact us" link at the bottom of the page to send them an email request. Be sure to specify that you want product #5149.

I am new to this forum, and am starting off with a wanted ad, I hope nobody minds. I have a 212 'scope which I bought nearly 20 years ago. The batteries were quite dead, so I removed them, and the charging circuit, and wired in a socket for a 12v external battery. However, I have now obtained enough cells of suitable type for new battery packs and want to reinstate them as before. When I removed the original packs, I turned two insulating posts as dummies to maintain the scope's physical integrity. Now I will NOT have thrown away the empty packs and the short cable interconnects, but repeated searches have failed to locate them. Does anybody have an old 212 battery pack, with or without contents and connecting leads I can get my hands on? Les. -- Dennis Tillman W7PF TekScopes Moderator |
