For those of us who are using an Icom hand-held radio like the IC A20,
IC A21, IC A2 or similar with an 1100mAh battery pack, this may be of
interest: instead of buying an aftermarket pack, which run about $65,
I dropped mine off at the local Batteries+ store and asked if they can
rebuild it. The store carries the required NiMh cells and they have
the spot-welder to attach the connecting tabs. They were able to
rebuild my pack for only $40.
