For normal use, we recommend using the SP-200 with 8 AA batteries and the included alkaline battery case. Each set of 8 batteries lasts up to 15 hours. Use this spare alkaline battery case to “quick change” to a fresh set of batteries and you’ll get another 15 hours. Includes rubber terminal cover to protect case from corrosion when not in use. JD-200 no longer manufactured.

Pros
Alkalines are nice.
Rubber top is a nice feature to keep the batteries from discharging.
Cons
Too expensive for what it is.
General Comments
Although the SP 200 has good battery life, one of these full of fresh batteries is a good idea to have as a back-up if you envision using the radio in an emergency in case your plane's primary radio fails.

Can be used as a back up battery pack to the radio, The terminal cover insures that tonight accidently falls on top of the terminals.
I seems like airplanes run on money and flight bags run on AA batteries, so get some that recharge!

Pros
It will attach to the SP-200.
Cons
1. The electrical contacts don't line up with the SP-200 so it doesn't work. The screws that are used as contacts in the replacement battery pack are smaller than the ones that come with the battery pack of the SP-200. The contacts don't touch so no power.
2. The rubber cover doesn't hold it together in the flight bag. You will need an additional rubber band or carry case to keep the batteries in the holder.
General Comments
While I can probably find the proper stainless pan head screws to make this work, I'd rather not jerry-rig a piece of equipment and I shouldn't have to.

Easy to keep batteries ready for use.

You should recommend Lithium cells rather than alkaline. I ruined my original two battery cases by leaving the alkalines in too long. Lithium longer shelf life will help. More energy stored also.
