<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Justin, in the early days on the R300, I switched from the battery pack in the <span>OTS SSB-2010 Radio to the power supply of my boat. Big mistake. Over the years, I have dealt with all kinds of noise that the <span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 16px;">SSB-2010 apparently cannot filter out. I did not figure this out till much later. My guess is there was never a need for OTS to invest much in filtering power because with divers, the self-contained battery pack with short leads from the pack to PCB in the radio does not genrate my electrical noise. I have since switched back to using rechargeable batteries like Jon mentions. It is a pain in the butt, but given all the PWM noises my motor controllers make and the PWM on my exterior lights, it's for the best.</span></span></span></div><div><br></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="font-family:serif;">I have not seen a "pack" replacement, but as Alec said, my units came with a generic 8-AA plastic battery holder with a 9-volt type wiring harness. Better off using this and AA lithium batteries that can be recharged via an external charger. Walmart has an 8-pack battery charger for $22.</div></div></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><div style="font-family:serif;font-size:16px;"><div dir="ltr" style="font-family:serif;"><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family:serif;">Jon</div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family:serif;"><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="font-family:serif;"><br></div><div style="font-family:serif;"><br></div>

Have any of you found a decent off the shelf battery as a replacement for the OTS 12v NiMH battery in the SSB-2010? I could probably build one with spare cells I have lying around, but I was just wondering if there's anything out there that's cheaper than the $150 OTS wants for the official replacement. </div>
