Cobra Model HH35 radio dummy batteries

Report abuse

I have two of these radios without the dummy batteries. I would like to use them without purchasing the NiCad batteries. The owner manual says I will need the dummy batteries when using regular AA batteries.
MY QUESTIONS ARE:
1. WHERE CAN I PURCHASE THESE DUMMY BATTERIES???
2. CAN ANYTHING ELSE BE USED INPLACE OF THE DUMMY BATTERY,
FOR EXAMPLE,,A DEAD AA BATTERY,,A ALUNIMUM OR COPPER ROD?? I CAN BE REACHHED AT LLOYDBAIRD@LYCOS.COM
I have the same problem Post a new problem

A dummy battery is just a piece of metal that the battery power can travel through - just use any round metal (not alumnium) that is the same size as a AA battery - copper wound be best

I don´t know what they mean with "dummy batteries" what shape has the radio in the battery compartment? does any AA battery match directly? How many AA batteries can be installed?

I think they use a Case when you are using AA batteries and the Rechargable battery is a pack that has diferent shape that any number of AA bateries.

Normal AA batteries are 1.5 Volts each. The battery compartment on the HH35 holds 10 Batteries. If regular batteries are used they must be configured to a 12 Volt output. Thus the Dummy (Blank) is used to Make 8 X 1.5V=12 Volts.

If you use NiMH or Nicd which are rated at 1.2 Volts 10 X 1.2 =12 Volts.
