[MRCG] Batteries

[N5WV]

Thanks Mark , The URC 200 is my first military transceiver . Its very simple to operate . But being new to military transceivers I need to know where to get used accessories. I figured ebay and Murphy's would be a couple of places to find them. I found no batteries available on ebay but did have some nice chargers. I am probably just going to purchase two new 9.6ah rechargeable li ion batteries and be done with it. Plus a charger. I have a nice BB 590 nicad charger but being that li ion batts are dangerous I better not try to charge them with it. But I have a lot to learn with mil gear. Especially when it comes to mic and accessory connectors. I have never dealt with any connectors but the ones used in ham radio. Again , Thanks for the help , Randy N5WV

Hi there! For the newer radios that use that style of battery, I've generally used the non-rechargeable LiSO2 ones such as the BA-5590A/U. I just use them too infrequently for rechargeable batteries to work well. There are surplus dealers such as Murphy's Surplus Warehouse who may have batteries and/or accessories, but I've found most of mine on eBay. 

Congratulations on getting a URC-200. That's fairly exotic for our group. I have some SINCGARS gear, but I think I'm in a minority in our group who dabbles with the more modern gear.
