Default TX Battery For RDS8000

Where can I get a NiMh TX battery for an Airtronics RDS8000. I see Tower has a Hobbico Hydrimax fo $40.00. That seems kinda steep. The Nicad mine came with a bad cell. I could send it back but it is too small anyway. I don't want to make up my own, I do not like soldering end to end. Thanks in advance.-BW

Might try this on on ebay. We have purchased over 50 batteries and all worked great.

I didn't find the company you suggested, but I did find batteries. I don't know why I didn't think of Ebay. I suppose it was just too simple.Thanks.-BW

If I recall the 2500mAh for that tx was about 12 or 13 yankee green backs. I have their batteries in my RDS800, DX-7 and 2 Futabas.

I found some 2500's from a company called Battery Island that are about $15.00 + $6.95 for shipping. I will probably order them later tonight. But I am gonna look a little longer. Thanks goirish.-BW

The only time the wind doesn't blow here is about midnight. Looks like rain and hail the next couple of days.

They have served us well. Getting ready to place another order for the club for the 2500mAh 6v. Rx batteries. Raining here this morning.[sm=confused_smile.gif][sm=drowning.gif]

It's raining here in the thumb too.
Yeah, right after I ordered I realized I need a few Rx batteries myself. I will wait till I get these and if all goes well I will probably get those from them also.-BW

We must have about 40 or 50 batteries from them. We don't order through ebay from them anymore, we deal direct. Even a little better price. Seems like we pay somewhere around 7.50 each for the 6 v.

No, I don't think we have ever ordered from them. We were pleased with the batteries from Dahanbay so we stayed with them.

I'm probably a little late to input to this, but, Peter Hill, [email protected]
can supply you with the right battery. His service and communications is great.
