Re: running radio on LARGE batteries 6V 3.0 AH $9.95 N.I.B.

That is the usual street price. Fry's stocks the NP4-6, slightly
larger, for $11.99.

I still think the used data center batteries are the way to go. Higher
capacity and about 20 cents on the dollar. You guys are really trying
to complicate matters. Just hit the ham flea market and somebody will
be selling these batteries. A bench supply should be about $20. No need
for the cyclic charger. The bench supply will be linear, so it doesn't
generate noise other than the usual diode on the mains.
