JakLomas Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hi does anyone know if you can get a battery for a 350 which doesn't require 14 c-type batteries? Thanks, Jak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g0ozs Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Jak There was also a 14V Ni Cad pack - the range of suitable chargers was limited to the IBMS or a DCCU with the slow charger plate however. You are probably better trying to find a combination of c-cells and a c cell pack that works as the NiCad packs are all well past their "sell by" date. You will find the c cell packs have problems when using batteries with deeply recessed end contacts and metal shims may help Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhughes Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 the 350 quite happily runs off 12-16v. i have converted quite a few to a dummy box with a trailing wire coming out of the bottom on which a lighter plug for plugging into a car or 2 pin plug for running off a 12v power pack can be added. j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Jak. It's worth keeping an eye on Lidl's website (http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/xchg/lidl_uk), as every now and then they have rechargeable C cells for £3 (2 pack), on their special offers. £21 for kitting out a 350 with reliable batteries isn't bad.
