[Kenwood] Kenwood TH215 and TH225 HT battery packs

Jim - they're most likely 1.2V NiMH rechargeable 'tootsie roll' type batteries. They come with solder tabs for easy pack construction and you will need ten of them to construct a 12V pack. I bought mine on eBay, and they come in various mAH ratings (800, 1100, etc). Have fun soldering them up!

Both are very dead and won't charge.  Can someone tell me what cells they use?  I know my TR2600 used 2/3AF nicads.  I need to replace the cells and would like to know what to look for.  The PB1 that was on the TR2600 used 7 of the 2/3AF cells. I never had a 12v pack before.  I assume it has 10 cells in it rather than 7 cells like the PB1. Thank you.
