Tired of AA's... - 07.17.2009, 12:57 AM

So I got a Summit, and I'm pretty much stuck with the TQ4 radio. I'm not spending $400 on a 4PK....

So I was at Linc's and we kinda got on the topic as we were running of these stupid cheap radio's with AA battery power. He said he had a solution for my problem.

Behold the beauty of cell phone. The pack was made from 3 cell phone batteries. These batteries have their own low voltage cutoff built in. They are around 1000mah so they should last a good while on a charge. The pack was made with a regular Rx pack connection. So I simple soldered a female rx connector to the radio's positive and negative's on the battery tray and viola! Worked like a charm.

Thanks linc!

Here's a pic of the battery tray on the TQ4.
