Hello here is an idea about how you can substitute expensive type-C batts in a ICOM IC-202S and / or resurrect some of your 1980’s radios.
Here is the idea:
Using four liitokala 26700 4000 mAmp liFe batts and 3 type C dummy batts in the center row doing the bridge. They work and they fit in place (very very tight…) but they fit.
I took the idea of other colleague that made this:
But I didnt want to use solded wires… and try the dummy batts. Worked!!
Hope this simple idea is usefull to other colleagues. It can also be used in other radios using 9 type-C batts.
(This mod needs a small drop of solder in the possitive tip of the liitokala batts, to improve conduction because they possitive poles are too flat )
Simple and easy, isnt it?
Its the “CT2IQK mod” , without mods…hi hi.
