There is no battery pack inside my Catswhickers either, but as you can see, possibly an 8-pack battery case would do the job with rechargeables in it. You can get 1.5 or 1.6v AA rechargeable batteries nowadays as I bought some recently, rather than the normal 1.2v which will drop the TX power output down.

Hope the strap pic's tell the story too.

That's cool, thanks for posting that up. I've never seen a Catswhiskers box before :)


Regarding the batteries, you could make up a pack for your other one using these, wired in series as per the other ones you have:

I think these are a tiny bit smaller in size so fitting should be easy. They'll give you 12v output.

Have you seen one of these before? It’s a Catswhiskers test box, it’s designed to test the radios wiring loom, loud speakers and PA horn.

I don't recall seeing one of those before. It's a nice little gizmo for your collection of Catswhiskers stuff though :)
