Subj : Battery charger. To : TOM WALKER From : JEAN PARROT Date : Fri Jun 17 2005 09:42 am Hello Tom, we were saying ! TW> Sounds you nmight want to pose that question of Battery substitution TW> to ICOM in an "E" mail. That was attempted too and no good information came of it. You would behave the same too to protect your market for a $177.00 pack. TW> BUT it sounds like the Radio has a smart charge control chip inside. TW> And some say Charging NiMH batteries in a "Smart" NiCad charger works TW> fairly well it would be worth a try. In the very near future, it will be done. I already got the NiMH cells, 12 of them and the pack needs 11 of them, on eBay from onlybatteries.com They are in Montreal but only deal via eBay. Strange ! Hey, this nice Thinkpad is in full use again. ___ Blue Wave/DOS v2.30 --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5 * Origin: Try Our Web Based QWK: DOCSPLACE.ORG (1:123/140) .
