AA Battery Clamshell for KNG BADASS Orange

WHAT IS IT?

The BadAss Orange clamshell allows you to power your Bendix King Radio with AA alkaline batteries. 

WORKS WITH:

• All KNG P150 and KNG P150 command series radios
• All KNG P150S series radios
• All KNG P400 series radios
• All KNG P400S series radios
• All KNG P500 series radios
• All KNG P800 series radios

WHY YOU NEED THIS:

This is an exceptional back up to our rechargeable batteries, for those times when there is no power to plug your charger into.  Slide the battery case open to accept (8) AA alkaline batteries, then close the case and use the loaded battery clamshell, just as you would the original OEM battery. AA Alkaline batteries discharge at a higher rate than rechargeable batteries under high current usage, such as keying up your radio. This means that alkaline battery packs discharge rates are even more difficult to calcullate than rechargeable batteries. Under a 5/5/90 duty cycle the clamshell loaded with brand new quality AA alkaline batteries will last about as long as a 2,200mAh rechargeable battery, but those same AA batteries loaded into a clamshell and put into service on a radio that undergoes a 10/10/80 duty cycle will only last about as long as a 1400mAh rechargeable battery.
