Please!

This radio resides in my shirt pocket. Even if I could find a rechargeable
AA lithium ion, it would not be for $0.36. It would not fit in my pocket as
nicely as a slimmer lithium ion battery such as the Pentax. A zinc-carbon
battery pack would retrograde both the size and performance of the radio.

I bet this Alinco battery is also used as a camera battery. The question is
how to find it.


Radio Shack sells, literally, thousands of different battery types.
Take yours to RS and see if they can match it.
