SAT Battery Question

[Larry Trischetta]

Terry, Rob & Willem,

Thanks for the SAT battery advice. The battery.com site looks really good.
I'll probably get my trusty soldering gun out and get some NiCd's. Thanks.

use 4 AA size batteries connected in series for a total of 6 volts.  Well
stocked electronic supply stores often have industrial application batteries
that have little soldering tabs on each end so that you can easily connect
them.  In mine I put the entire collection of loose batteries inside a
sleeve of heat shrink tubing to squeeze them tight together. Then I use a
little PVC-E to secure the whole package to the inside of the case.  As a
substitute you could also use replacement rechargeable phone batteries,
(home phones, not cell phones).  There are some phones that use 4 AA
batteries so they are ready to go.  You will need to cut off the little
socket-type connector they come with and tie the wires together with the
SAT.  Be sure to get NiCad rechargeables, not NiHd.  They charge differently
and are not interchangeable.

List... I took the Radio Shack rechargeable batteries out of my SAT a few
weeks ago and I was just about to get replacements and I can't remember how
many there were! (I soldered them together originally). I assume it's 9
volts divided by the 1.2 volts per battery (8) but can anyone confirm that?
I'm using Radio Shack part #23-125A 1.2 volt 700ma batteries. 
Thanks in advance. I hope everyone has a nice Christmas. Hey Ric... maybe on
the 19th day of Christmas my Parson will come to me with a new SAT 3 and a
new pack of batteries... for free. Na.
