This was an above average skill build level. I had a lot of fun and frustration putting this together. The documentation is not up to date for the current parts that was in this kit. The video was almost worse. There were no clear up close views to go by in either video or documentation. Kevin DID apologize in the listing and mentioned he was going to update things.
Once I got everything together though, the battery pack has been working flawlessly and I can go a long time with my FT-2.
Such a cool kit to put together.
Nicely built. Fit to the radio is good. The instructions need to be updated on the very first part due to a change in manufacturing. Extends the battery life tremendously. Have already recommended it to friends.
Bought a couple for my Dad and I to do as a project together. Watch the linked video, it makes the steps go smooth. Wasn’t overwhelming or too difficult. The end product is great. After a full charge, I left the radio on with APRS running tx every 60 min and the pack got me 20 hours. No complaints here. In addition, customer service is outstanding. Communication was fast and to the point.
I've been using this battery pack for several weeks now and it's fantastic! Lasts for days and charges quickly with a high current charger.
Here's the caveat, I bought it as a kit and it was a bit intimidating, but I was up for a challenge and have pretty good soldering skills. It was difficult and I ran into a few issues that were promptly addressed by W0AEZ.
Assembled and working great, but I would highly recommend spending the money and buying already assembled.
