Hi,
I was wondering if there is a real thin Li-ION or similar battery for the Visar. I hate the clunky batteries that are like 3/4 inch thick. Thanks

Yes. there is a slim battery. its part # NTN7396. nickel metal-hydride, about 1/2" thick. I have one on my Visar. and the radio a lot smaller and lighter. you can can carry it in your shirt pocket. Don S

MOTOROLA NTN7396BR Prem Batt NiMH 600 mAh 7.5V

Only issue is that since its only 600mAh,it will only last about 4 hrs if you have your radio set to high power,

Battery is half the size of the standard battery.With this battery on the radio,the radio is slightly thinner than a pack of cigarettes.

A completely different animal with the slim battery, sweet package long as you can go with the battery capacity as mentioned above (I used mine in a high signal area so 1 watt did the job and lasted for the day). That fat battery gives it the profile of a potato and no real advantage over carrying a HT1000. Just has to be used gingerly, not very durable.

Thanks for the help. There are some very cool people on Bat Board .
