If you need a good, affordable battery for a low power HF rig, or to
give your hand held a little more talk time for emergencies and public
service events, consider the item being offered below.
I bought one from this guy several months ago, and it works very well.
Mine is all charged up, and ready to keep me on the regional 2 meter
emergency net should Isaac get any ideas about turning off the power
at my house.
The output connector also fits my nearly indestructible HTX202, which
is what I will use with it this week if necessary.
The addition of a cigarette lighter socket output to this unit is on
my projects list.
This is not a "carry around on your belt" box, but it will get the job
done, and you won't find a better price.

Subject: [QRP-L] FS: Belkin UPS (Battery w/conditoner/charger)
I have some Belkin UPS that are pulls. I don't know how long they
were
in service, but they do test good. They are very clean so my guess is
less than 2yrs. They contain a 12v 7Ah battery and have a cord with
a
co-axial plug that fits Elecraft and other equipment. They do NOT
contain an inverter for a 120V output. The only output is 12V DC.
The
model is BU3DC001-12V and their web page with manual is here:
http://cache-www.belkin.com/support/dl/bu3dc001-12v_en_rev063010.pdf
It is a nice package with built in charging and battery conditioning.
I
have checked the batteries and they pass the built-in charger test so
there should be no DOAs. The shipping cost is more than half of the
price so everything is "AS-IS." I have been using them with my K2, K1
and other kit QRP radios as well and I have not had an issue. I have
some in black cases and some in a gray putty cases. The choice is
yours
as long as there is a choice, after that I will ship one of whatever I
have.
If you are interested I am asking $25 (that includes priority
shipping). Belkin is selling them at $129 each (unbelievable).
Priority shipping is the cheapest way because of the weight, which is
over 7.2 pounds. They fit well in the 8x8x8box so "if it fits, it
ships."
I'm not setup to do PayPal or credit cards so the payment terms are:
USPS money order (preferred method), cash or check. Please include
your
call, and a shipping address. Otherwise I will ship to your QRZ
address. A heads up email would be nice as well because I only have
25
units. I may get a few more in the next week, but I never know.
If you do emergency communications there is room to add a handle on
top
or make a sling with pockets to carry the power supply into the field.
It runs a 5W rig for longer than I want to use it continuously.
Around the house, I took a inexpensive AM-FM radio and modified it to
run from 12V and a LED desk lamp. This is a great combo when a storm
takes out the power. It is not so easy to get good light up to start
the generator in the dark and this is ready instantly. Much safer than
something with an open flame.
Use my QRZ address for snail mail order.
Regards,
Terry, KQ5U
