Default Re: 15V NiCad Battery

Advice taken from Refugee & emeritus. Room found to fit 10 x 1.2V AAA NiMH batteries, or at a squeeze - 10 x 1.2V NiCad AA's. Either jolly cheap from local sources.
Opened up the back of my larger 2003N & found I'd fitted 12 x 1.2V NiCad AA's, & they've been fine for the last 6 years.
Stockden - My last RAF posting was on 8 Sqdn(AEW Shackletons)(Fitted with ex Gannet Radar), at RAF Lossiemouth (formerly HMS Fulmar). The squadron was more or less 1/2 & 1/2 RAF & NAVY personnel. In fact the avionics side had more Navy guys - from Commissioned AEO's down to REM's. So I was squeezed between two PO's & our boss - a CPO. Picked up a lot of Navy jargon. As well as being wary of any trails of smarties leading into the heads.
Moderators - could you please transfer this thread into "Test Equipment", & I'll continue a few more posts regarding a "Tale of two Times". i.e. this old 2003 & a later 2003N. Thank you.

Regards, David
