Its long past time for me to replace the Lithium CR 1/3N memory battery
in my old FT-757. I am considering just removing the old one and tacking
in a pair of wires which will run to a nearby Lithium AA cell in a holder.
Can anyone think of a reason why I wouldn't want to do this, assuming
there's a reasonable place to mount the holder?

Guess you don't have invisible fence / dog owners in your area --
that system uses 1/3 N batteries as well.

Thanks for the info. I see Radio Shack carries this battery, too.
Problem is, Yaesu's version comes with spot-welded tabs. Now that I'm
retired, I'm lazy and don't want to go to the extra effort in removing
the board the battery is on so I can do a proper job of unsoldering it...
I intend to snip the battery tabs from top side and just wire a new
(wired) substitute battery to it. Also, I don't like soldering to the
stainless steel type cases on such batterys as the one suggested above,
which is why I'm considering the option I posted here.

Thank you again, though.
