    Replacing radio batteries - uniden BP506

    Just scored some old radios, no longer used. Have had minimal use. I suspect that they have been sitting for some time not charged.

    Anyone know the best place in NZ to get replacements?

    This outfit any good?

    These units take AAA batteries also. So could I buy 6 rechargeable AAAs and still use the cradle charger? Or do I have to remove the batteries to charge them?

    Remove and charge. The cradle IIRC has the connection point to link onto those contact discs on the front of the battery pack.

    Have a look at the battery pack and see if it has two round discs on it for the charger contacts.

    Right so these wont even transmit using new triple A’s. Anyone know of a service agent for radios who could take a look? Or anyone got similar units they could try their batteries in?

    You generally need to use rechargeable nimh or alkaline cells.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
