Most JR Buddy Boxes can be powered sufficiently by a standard 9-volt battery.

True buddy boxes are like this but using a standard JR radio as a buddy box means properly charging it.
Bruce88123 speaks from experience, I'm sure. So do I. A standard JR radio used as a buddy box will quit operating when the battery is low. No big deal, the instructor just takes control, lands, and puts the box battery on charge. But it happens.

Good luck,
