Hams, battery thought on VX-7R

[zoulas]

Interesting ideas. I have the vx-5-6-and 7. Love the whole series. Replacement bateries on ebay are 35 bucks. Many not be a bad idea to keep a spare in the car. You get much lower transmit power with AA's. Also, the desktop charger is a great investment.

Surely someone has confirmed this by now? I have a Yaesu VX-R and would like to install 14500 in the AA battery holder. Does it work?

Ive been wondering the same thing for the past 6 months or so....

My experience with several battery cases for other radios, Eneloops and 14500s were just a liiiittle bit too long to fit, I could stuff them in but the case would bow outward. Trying with regular alkalines seemed to fit okay.

Here is someone who made a case holding two 18500, and it works. So, it just seems we need to get the voltage correct.
