Is that "life" or between charges in use?

I charged mine every few rides when used for chat and directions when out on rides.
If I was doing commentary demo rides then the say 3 hours out with about an hour of my yaking would see it needing a recharge before venturing out again.

Making your own on bike power supply for it isnt that hard and I built a Autocom adaptor for it using an AA battery pack from ebay and an autocom Kenwood lead

HTH

Thanks for that Baggie

Thinking more of daily life... off to the continent in a couple of weeks and will have it on for 8hrs or so per day with intermittent chat..

You can buy a battery eliminator for the 803 from intaride, well worth the money, (just rig a socket near the headstock to plug into) just save the proper battery for when your off the bike if you need it

Had one... shortened the lead to hard wire it in.. cocked it up.. re wired.. cocked it up... now the wire is about 2cm long

May have to get another one...

its worth noting that the radio is really a Wouxon KG-703E and you find the radios and accessories on HK ebay for not much money. The AA battery pack I butchered to make my autocom interface was less than £5 delivered.

Thanks for that but as we're gone in two weeks not sure I'd get one in time
