• AAA NiMH Battery Pack Replacement

    For a relative I recently fixed one of these walkie talkies which
    wasn't transmitting (it was just a microphone fault): https://www.jaycar.com.au/0-5w-80-ch-uhf-transceivers/p/DC1027

    The batteries are getting weak. They accept regular AAAs, but the
    charging cradle requires the original battery pack with metal
    charging contacts at the back: https://www.jaycar.com.au/700mah-nimh-battery-pack-for-0-5w-uhf-transceivers/p/DC1029

    Jaycar aren't selling them anymore except from stores with
    remaining stock (none nearby). The packs are clearly just three
    AAAs stuck together, but the compartment that they go into is tight
    so rebuilding the pack neatly enough that they fit back in would be
    an awkward job.

    Are packs like this for sale somewhere on the web? I had a look on
    Ebay buy couldn't find any with the charging contacts in the same
    place. I haven't got any model number to go from, so it's a bit
    tricky.
