| ArchiMark,
Glad to see you are getting good progress on the Intermec 6651 battery.
I hope you get a good contact from the repairman.

After watching the entire video, all I can say is bloody heck......krikey.....
The mind boggles.....
Although it makes me think that if there were HPC's before 1971, there would have been a big market for an app for calculating making change in transactions.
Now back to our regularly scheduled broadcast.....
Drove to the computer repair shop on way home....
Guy I spoke to on the phone earlier in the day looked very puzzled when I said I was there to drop off battery to get re-celled.....he said you mean replaced? I said it's about 20 years old, so, not very easy to find a replacement battery....hence my asking him on phone about re-celling....realized he didn't know what I meant, had to explain.....he said he didn't think they could do that.....but....he did say, he had some contacts he could call to see if he could source a new battery....said he should have some news for me tomorrow.....hopefully.....
We shall see.....
Base 10, 20 and 12 in one currency: they're crazy these Britons (and now you know why! )
As to the battery: argh  |

Actually, if you re-read my post, it is not good progress.....
Meanwhile, I found the equivalent battery for the Sharp Telios HC-7000 that uses the same battery as the Intermec 6651.
It is part number HC-BL02.
I found one that appears to be sold here:
https://www.monotaro.com/p/3300/8026/
Can you please let me know if it really available and if they would sell and ship it to me in USA?
Thanks,
Mark |

Hi.
It probably is available, but you need to send in the battery to get it recelled.
Which will cost USA -> Japan, Japan to USA, which is not good, imo. (I don't think they will send to USA btw. )

Thanks for checking and your input, stingraze. Really appreciate it!
Well, hopefully, I will find a way to get battery or re-celled.....

| Just spoke with the computer repair shop....he could not find a replacement battery through his sources......
Not surprised.....
Oh well....
Does anyone have any suggestions how/where to get battery re-celled?
Thanks!

| Consider that maybe the cells are not the problem, but the printed circuit board inside the battery pack... |

OK, good point.....thanks......
Guess I wouldn't know unless the cells are replaced and then try to charge?

| Any other suggestions on battery?
Or am I stuck with having to use it only with AC adapter?
Thanks. |

| Can you try looking up / making calls to places in SF, Sacramento, and LA?
Those are the nearest large metro areas. I’m inclined to have you try LA first. There’s gotta be a place that can. |

| Thanks for the suggestion.....will give that another try....
I did come up with a place in S Cal, but it turned out the business seems to have ceased operations. Unfortunately, I placed order online with them before realizing this...tried calling, know someone was on the phone, but wouldn't say a word....very weird...
Wish devices all used standard batteries and not proprietary ones....life would be so much simpler........
Sigh.....

| What about a company like https://www.mtobattery.com/pages/custom-battery-build-services I know that they are on the wrong side of your country, but there must be someone nearer offering a rebuild service who will do the soldering for you. |

| I second what Camie says.
If you find a place in LA let me know because maybe if I happen to be in the area (I live about 6 hours away) and maybe I can scope it out for you.
I can’t promise anything. I just mean if I happen to already have plans in LA and I can bundle it with that.
Anywya just keep us in the loop. |
