"free wires"... get it? ;o) Curt, a little more info is required. If you knowhow many D-cells the case can hold, we can figure it out. D-cells are 1.5Vapiece and these clusters are usually wired with the batteries in series, so youcould have 1.5, 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, 9, 10.5, 12, or 13.5 volts... or more. However,nine D-cells to give 13.5 volts makes a pretty hefty battery pack and Idoubt that it would have held more. The battery pack for my Narco ELT-10 is essentiallynine stacked and potted D-cells to give 13.5V, which coincides withthe nominal 14V DC of many aircraft power systems. The radio with battery packfeels like a chunk of lead or a brick... the specs say it's 3.9 lbs.The red and black wires that are "free" (no extra "charge", get it?) can be snippedclean, stripped, and a connector attached so you can fabricate a batteryenclosure with a mating connector. The batteries would join in a "nose to tail"daisy-chain for a series connection.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: NX626E
