[OZAPRS] D7 down on power on nimh's?

[Tony Farrow]

Hi Damien,

Several HADARC members have had old battery packs repacked by Akkupak at New
Line Road, Dural. See http://www.akkupak.com.au/

I too have a couple of old Kenwood D7A PB-39 battery packs that need
refurbishing. I must get a round tuit!

Cheers,

Tony VK2AJF
