    I have a ten year old Bearcat and the battery pack is failing. I want to make up a new set and need to use the old connector to solder onto new set.Will I lose my presets if I leave the Bearcat plugged into the mains on its charger with no battery pack in it.

    Usually there is an onboard battery which applies power 24/7 to an eprom which stores the presets so I think you're safe.

    Is the battery pack made up of 3-4 AA cells heat shrinked together?

    Hi humax F1, It is a Twin Turbo200 model with 4 AA Ni Cad shrink wrap battery pack with a mini pin connector lead. I want to put a set of Hybrio long life into it.I have dozens of Air Freq stored plus some Walki Talki presets which I dont want to loose I was thinking if I left the mains adaptor connect it would maintain power to the capacitor or circuit battery for a hour or so.

    I searched for Bearcat TWIN TURBO and I got this pdf file.

    Suggest you have a squint at the bottom of page 5.

    It may not be the exact same but I doubt theres much difference.
