Any battery place, or if you have a radio who's a radio tech, any of them 
can solder the leads to a lithium battery or put a holder in there so it's 
not soldered in anymore just the holder is soldered in and they can put any 
common lithium battery in there. Believe me, if anyone on this list has one 
needing a battery and doesn't want to go to the trouble, I'll gladly talk to 
them about getting it off their hands, I like that radio. I like having a 
few older HT's around here for some public service events I do, if I need to 
loan one out, if the weather's not too great, what ever. you never know what 
radio I'm going to come out with at those events, it always gets comments 
when I bring out the old IC2AT, or FT-470. My commercial radios are better 
but if I'm in the city I live in better to being out the old one I paid next 
to nothing for, or if the weather's not too great. I like to have an NIMH 
battery or AA's for events in the cold too, I've had nothing but trouble 
with lithium batteries in extreme cold.
