Neither my 616 or 308 have that piece over the battery compartment, makes them seem "incomplete" now...  ;D

It's definitely a must-have piece for the precision collector.

Now I'll have to look, and see if my 616 has one, lol! I might be a potential customer. :D

Best regards!

Neither my 616 or 308 have the battery cover either. Didn't even know they came with one :)   Of course neither unit was bought new.

Just a comment on the batteries. I would never put a used battery in anything, except in an emergency. A nicad cell which has been used  may already have dendrites (which cause its tendancy to have a memory inside caused by improper charging/useage: think of a dendrite as a root which grows from one layer to the other, which can short out the cell)

However, I have used a number of NOS Nicads which were outdated and in the original packaging that have been kept in good storage and I have found they last just as long as fresh stock.

Just my personal experience...

When I first got my 616 I always thought there was something missing... ;D

For those of you who don't feel complete with out it.
Jeff Lamb sent this to me for my 616 PBX.
I can sleep at night knowing that it is whole again. LOL

Sadly they won't ship to Canada. :(

Battery Bob will ship to Canada but you have to pay shipping.

I submitted a question on availability and shipping to Canada. Will add to this when they reply.

Ah, that's why to item page comes up with a 404 Error but the battery can still be accessed by search and it finds the "Question" page. No need to wait for a reply from him since we now know the answer.
