You can always use the wire-cutter on your needle nose pliers as a crimper.? I have done it quite successfully.? Just be gentle...

Answering the original question: I use an external Bioenno brand battery that I keep charged AND disconnected from the radio.? The FT-817 and especially the FT-818 have internal leakage that will drain any connected battery.? This means that if you keep your battery connected, it won't be charged when you need it.? And it could possibly be permanently damaged.? I prefer not to use the internal battery compartment as disconnecting the internal battery is hard and I forget to do it after charging.
