CS700 Battery Eliminator Guide

Connect Systems CS700/CS701 Battery Eliminator Guide Guide

Intro: First of all, I am an amateur radio user, just like the rest of you. I have no affiliation with Connect Systems. These instructions were not put together under their guidance, or supervision.

This may void the warranty on your radio. Soldering irons and hot glue guns get hot, so be careful, don’t get burned. Electricity is involved, don’t ride the lightning.

This was not created for you all to critique my soldering skills, it is a guide to help you build a battery eliminator. If you don’t like the way mine looks, then by all means don’t use my guide. Also, I am not planning on producing units for sale, don’t ask. The total project took me about 30 minutes.

By following these instructions you agree to hold harmless the author from any damages or injury which may result.

Supplies I used:
Multimeter
Soldering Iron w/solder
Needle-nose pliers
Masking Tape
Baofeng UV5R Battery Eliminator ($7)
Empty Battery Case for CS700/701 ($10 + shipping)
Dremel tool
Hot Glue Gun w/high-temp hot glue
My pocket knife (for prying things open.)
