Can I get a AA battery tray as a back up to the Li Battery?

I don't believe so. The manufacturer lists an optional backup lithium battery pack, but there is no option to purchase an AA tray.

I don't know that. I always go out on a full charge and added wiring to my boat battery so a cigarette lighter power adapter can be hooked up to the battery. then to go from cigarette lighter adapter to the ICOM unit with that style cable that came with it. I also added a 2nd battery to my boat to make electrical things dependable when I run my lil 18 footer out 10 mi or better from shore. The radio is nice but I really don't want to have to use it.

I have done a search, as an experienced ham radio operator who owns many handheld radios, and concluded that Icom does not offer an alkaline battery case option for this radio. I would contact Icom customer service directly for a sure and final answer as that this is a very important communication tool in a maritime emergency.

Yes, I have seen AA battery adapters . I have been thinking about getting one too , around 14.00 dollars and take 6 AA batterys. I have also recharged mine with a inverter on my solar panel.

Sorry, I do not know the answer to that. I will say that if it does fit that it will hold only standard AA batteries so should probably be used as a back up only. Good luck.

I thought I could, but quickly found you cannot. Ended up purchasing a new charger to go with my two new lithium batteries. You are better off to look for a kit or even a tool that comes with both. One good thing about the new charger is that it is "smarter" - you can leave the battery in the charger almost indefinitely without damaging it.

Software runs in the system tray that will allow you to periodically "self test" the battery. I do this on a monthly basis.

I Don't know where my brain went. The tray for AAs comes out and two camera batteries can be used. Sorry for the misinformation.

You can only use the rechargeable battery, there are no areas on the cube where you can insert AA batteries

YES, I use a one cell battery case for my size battery and wire it direct to the charger output terminals. Get separate charger and case for each lithium battery size you use.

For homemade you can go to RadioShack and get a battery box you can rig it close with those parts. Use silicon to seal and just seal and re seal when changing battery

No. This can be a good thing though as you must have the charger with you and a place to plug into when a rechargable dies. With AA's though, you can get them any place and no waiting for them to charge or losing the charger or trying to find and outlet!

Yess you can get a "battery holder" that clips into the spot where the regular battery is mounted . it holds 6 AA batteries

You can plug a separate balance board directly into the unit for each battery. If that helps any.

No. The large battery cover has a bulge to accommodate the battery. The original is a thinner battery. You might be able to use a thin piece of anything (foam) as a spacer if you use the original as a back-up.

Thank you.Where can I get the "latest specifications from the manufacturer" that list lithium ion batteries as an "Option" ?

With the back of the remote toward you and the battery compartment up, there is a small gap on the top right of the battery compartment. Slide the tab just to the right of that gap into the gap and hold it in place. The battery tray will slide out easily.

No, its still an AA batter providing power. The spacer merely provides a method by which to hold the battery so its contacts will be in line with those of the device to be powered.
