Re: Lithium DIY Re: [Yaesu-FT-60] FT-60R replacement battery
|
Good point. There is a problem in that many of us, my self included, associate "LiOn" with LiFePO4, with its 2,000 plus cycle capacity. Not the case with what is used in HT batteries.

The disadvantage, the case is about 1/4" fatter. The advantages are that I can have charged batteries in place in seconds. This set up last a LOOONG time compared to the nickel batteries before recharging is needed. You can recharge with an inexpensive Lithium USB charger that works for a bunch of other types of batteries also.? The batteries are larger but MUCH lighter. The BIGGEST advantage was that I got to have a fun project. If you are interested, I have posted my work on Thingiverse.?
