Battery holder for Icom BP-272Li

[Jack Crow]

Hi all,
Got a couple of Icom ID-51 hand held radios. The client wanted it modified in transmit frequency range for use with his Civil Air Patrol squadron.

So while they were here I got to looking at the battery housing and thought it would be a good subject for making one of my holders.

This is the over view. Radio and the holder.

This is from the footer looking toward the top. See how I had to add a slope to make it match with the slope on the front of the battery its self.

This is the side view. Again with the slope near the top more or less matches the shape of the battery pack.

This is the bottom view. It shows the holes for the terminals and four mounting holes.

View from the top. It has openings for the latch pins that are part of the battery housing.

The bottom footer. Took some doing to get it all to notch and fit properly.

Hope you like it.
