Hi Damien,<br><br>Several HADARC members have had old battery packs repacked by Akkupak at New Line Road, Dural. See <a href="http://www.akkupak.com.au/">http://www.akkupak.com.au/</a><br><br>I too have a couple of old Kenwood D7A PB-39 battery packs that need refurbishing. I must get a round tuit!<br>

<div style="word-wrap: break-word;">Hey folks,<div><br></div><div>A while ago the battery pack on my D7 died completely, so I headed into andrews to get a new one.. Turned out he had the kenwood 4-AA box in stock, so I went with that instead, after being assured that the difference between my 9.6v high-capacity pack, and the 6v 4xAA pack wouldn't effect my power out... Although having bought one of the little digitor 30W VHF amps off ebay yesterday, I find that on battery, the D7 is only putting out about 3W, where was on external DC, it's putting out the full 5W.. - Anyone else gone from a 'proper' pack to one of the AA packs? And seen something similar? Doesn't bother me hugely, as I pretty much always use it off the car power, but thought it was a bit strange..</div>
