Battery Icom A3E   Message List  
Reply Message #69153 of 98294 |
Does anyone know of a UK after-market source for this battery please,
other than the Flightstore type of operation who are asking nearly £70
plus P & P for the branded version.

After-market batteries in the USA are about $35 plus P & P, probably
£30 all up.

Regards

I find the standard battery from Icom only lasts a year or so - putting decent cells in them makes them last a few times better than that. Paul ... From: Rick...

I think the problem with the Icom batteries is that, if you leave them attached to the radio and then connect the radio to the aircraft electrical supply, the...

Some mates of mine reinvigorate a dead cell by flashing across it with a 12v car battery. It seems to work in many cases to extend the life of a NiCad. Not...
