[NJARC] connecting batteries in series

[Mike Feher]

Vic -

If you are going to go the battery holder route as you may have adequate
room, I have hundreds of triple AA battery holders and would be glad to send
you one. Modifying a 4 holder to a 3 holder sounds like a good idea, but, is
messy, and, soldering to the battery holder contacts will be tougher than
soldering to the batteries, and, no doubt you will wind up melting the
holder before done. Let me know. - Mike

Hi Victor,
I was going to suggest the same thing Watt said, but you can cut down the 4
Cell AA holder from radio shack to 3 batteries, rewire that connection, then
wire it into the radio.

Just my 2 cents...

 HI VICTOR:
 
INSTEAD OF SOLDERING YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER BUYING A 4 CELL "AA" PLASTIC
BATTERY HOLDER WHICH ARE READILY AVAILABLE.NICKEL MH BATTERIES ARE 1.2 VOLTS
SO YOU WOULD NEED FOUR. ALSO I WOULD SUGGEST USING A SERIES RESISTOR TO
BRING THE VOLTAGE DOWN TO 4.2 VOLTS OTHERWISE THOSE FILAMENTS ARE NOT GOING
TO LAST.FINDING REPLACEMENT TUBES COULD BE A PROBLEM.
