I just pointed out what others have already done. How hard is it to solder
in a battery every 10-15 years? I'm certainly not an 'authorized' technician, but I was glad my next door neighbor works on stuff like this. He had the equipment, the steady hands and the eyesight that I don't have. Would I want to do it again? Nope, not without my neighbor. It's very intimidating to take your only rig apart that far, and then wave a soldering iron at it. Those components are really tiny. But you are correct, Clif, the batteries do last a really long time. My Kenwood was bought new in 1993 and the battery died last year. Hopefully I'll get maybe another ten years out of this battery, and I WON'T need my neighbor's good eyes and hands to replace it :+)). 73's.... "Clif Holland" wrote in message ...

Does anybody know if there is a battery holder that can replace the soldered in battery so future replacement will be easier? Please reply to group. TNX and 73 |
