[Boatanchors] Off Topic - Lithium Battery

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

One of you on this list was kind enough to give me the Radio Shack part number
for the replacement Lithium battery for the HTX-404 without tabs. Hence, without
tabs it is going to be necessary to solder some wire on to connect the battery
to the circuit board. If any of you have done this, I would appreciate knowing
exactly how you went about it. It is my understanding that heat can reduce the
life of the Lithium battery, but to what extent I do not know. Thanks.	
	
FYI: the battery is $2.99 without tabs and $11.99 with tabs. The tab version
being a special order, so they tell me, as they do not stock it.
