Hi.
I wish I could find one. The problem is that the metal lips on the battery
tend to spread over time, and the batteries become loose and start making
intermittent contact. I think that this rail format was kind of a
troublesome design as I have not had trouble of this type with batteries
for my other radios that were made by other manufacturers. What I have
tried to do is use a edge of a wooden table or other non-conductive
surface to press the lip back in slightly. It is the only thing I have
come up with. I don't want to use any kind of tool that could put a dimple
in the track because that will make the situation much worse.
