SX90 Handheld VHF

[aod]

I bought one of these a few years ago from Cruisermart which of course has now gone bust!

Has anyone any idea where I could get a replacement battery for it?

I'm not 100% certain about this but I think the SX90 was also sold/distributed by Marathon Leisure 023 9263 7711 so they may be able to help. For sure someone else did sell them, but I cannot be certain I'm right.

Last resort...

If you can't get a battery pack, as a last resort you could try dismantling the existing battery pack and replacing the cells. Almost all of these packs use standard-size cells, which you can buy fairly cheaply from Maplin and similar companies.

Re: SX90 Last resort? First resort!

By all means DIY, using modern Hi capacity 1800 Mh rechargable cells.

You could give <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.cpcbatteries.co.uk/>CPC Batteries</A> in Twickenham as they have a wide selection of re-chargeable batteries.

Take your battery pack down to Maplins, they may well have one available off the shelf, if not and you are not happy to build your own pack give Satcon Marine a ring on 07092 111956, they are sensible with price and are'nt afraid to repair things to component level when practicable, remember if you change to NiMH batteries you will need a new charger, NiCad chargers kill NiMH batteries.

Relax, life is just a game.

Many thanks everyone...........I will fish it out of the bin then

PM Oldgit on the Mobo forum as he had a tame co. who he recommended to me that replace these batts. £ 25 was mentioned but I can't guarantee it.
Alternatively rescue it form the bin and give it to me, it'll save you all that hassle of getting it fixed!
