Icom Radio Batteries??

Postby RudiGreyling » Tue Nov 01, 2005 3:10 pm

Hi Everyone,

I need a new battery for my Icom A3E radio, it is a BP-166 or CM-166. Anyone know where I can get them at a good price, or someone that actually rebuilds them with new batteries?

(paying R850 at the flying shop is a bit of an overkill)

Regards

Rudi,

Try these guys. I've used them before for all sorts of batteries, and always got good service...
