[Konvas] Kinor 35 Batteries

[Bruce McNaughton]

Dear Kelly

The quickest solution to the battery issue is to run off to your local  
hardware store and buy a couple of DEWALT power tool battery packs and  
a charger.  These are 18V which is perfectly OK for the Kinor.  I have  
a few here and I have added a Cannon 4 pin outlet.  These batteries  
are small, light, quick to interchange and charge.

Replacing the Russian receptacle on the Kinor requires a small amount  
of work.  We do this automatically to all Kinors that come through  
here.  For the untrained I believe that there is a 'how to' article  
somewhere on the Konvas site...  I may be wrong though as I have not  
actually read it.
