Hi,

This query refers to a Uniden Bearcat BC-235xlt scanner. I suspect that
the
radio has a defective voltage sensor.

Charged overnight, even a new battery sets off the low battery signal
after
only a couple of hours. Yet, by slapping the bottom of the unit once or
twice, the voltage sensor turns off, thereby giving me extra hours of
battery use.

So, is it worthwhile to open the radio? Am I able to adjust the voltage
sensor easily at the board?

Short of returning the unit to Uniden, is there anything I can do to
repair
the unit?

TIA

Sounds like an intermittent connection, if all the battery contacts are
clean it would probably be inside. If you continue the "Slap" routine you
may well damage something else.
