Are these batteries available with solder tabs? Who are some good distributors? I find that assembling packs by soldering wires is difficult and makes for bulky packs. A source for packs that are preassembled by spot welding into 4 or 6 cell packs would be nice, but I have not seen a source except for the complete packs which tend to be expensive with the case already assembled. Cost effective for newer equipment, but hardly a way to salvage a 20 year old HT. Willis 'Cookie' Cooke K5EWJ & Trustee N5BPS, USS Cavalla, USS Stewart

I'm using them for various wireless peripherals around the shack. The Tenergy NiMH AA cells are also quite good and have a slightly higher rated capacity. I plan on using two sets of these for the KX3. NiMH in general is very cost effective compared to the higher price of Lithium-based energy storage. 73, matt W6NIA On Fri, 10 Jun 2011 06:26:42 -0400, you wrote: >I know many have moved on to other technologies, but some still use Sanyo's >eneloop NiMH batteries for their price and ability to hold a charge for a long >time (I'm thinking KX3). > > >I see this morning they have a couple of new models (and a wireless charging >case), one with 25% greater capacity: > >http://panasonic.net/sanyo/news/2011/06/09-1.html > >73 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
