I believe the batteries are really tight in the battery holder to provide a low resistance contact. I remember a post from Elecraft mentioning that they had to use a special battery holder to get that resistance down.
I used to see ribbon under batteries to help pop them out of a holder. I’m pretty sure my 1960’s Sony transistor radio had those. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Dec 26, 2017, at 12:03 PM, Mike Parkes <[email protected]> wrote: > > I have only used Eneloop AA batteries on my kx3, so not sure if its just > them, but getting them out of the battery holder (on each end end) is > difficult. > > So I cut a strip of coated paper from a catalog, and wrapped that around > the end of battery on the + end and now I can pull them out easily. > Here are some pix to illustrate. > > https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CGpkMwu-oQW0ufhyZYzKagGH3-IVXAG5/view?usp=drivesdk > > https://drive.google.com/file/d/1la62eVeYbAwOv6f2CUO90EkH1B3Xv9_W/view?usp=drivesdk > > (I do have the internal charger but waiting on a 13.8v PS. ) > > Happy new year to all on this list! > Mike AB7RU > ______________________________________________________________ > 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 > Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
