The Duo uses a special 4/5ths AA cell. If you can find them, you can replace
them. I bought some at a local hamfest/computershow (had to call the guy
first so that he brought them), paid around $4.50 each. $45 for a "new"
battery for a Duo is not too bad!! Make sure you get nickel hydride cells.
I'm currently playing with a set of LiON cells to see if these work with the
Duo. Try scanning the 'Net for battery resellers ( Mr. Battery comes rapidly
to mind, he sells nickel hydride batteries to a lot of ham radio operators).

<< My Duo's battery is dead--very dead. I was looking at it the other day, and
ended up dismantling it, and discovered that it's basically 10 cells in a
series, and started wondering. Would it be possible to replace the cells
inside this thing? >>
