MFJ-259B/C/D and MFJ-269/269B Analyzer Improved Battery Holder, Warranty
This is a new, improved battery tray that holds 10 AA batteries, and fits the following MFJ antenna analyzers:
- MFJ-259B
- MFJ-259C
- MFJ-259D
- MFJ-259D Pro
- MFJ-269
- MFJ-269B
It may fit other MFJ devices, compare the photos and these dimensions:
- 6" long
- 2.25" wide
This is an improved battery tray design, where the red and black leads are on the same end of the battery tray, reducing lead length and lead stress. This place both leads closer to the actual point of connection.
Also, the battery contact points on this improved version are larger and more robust than the original design. This leads to better contacts, and less restrictive power flow.
This tray also has the two required bottom standoffs.
Now, an important word about these standoffs: The tray is held in place with two screws (included), and the other two corners just rest upon two standoffs (supports). I know of three different styles on standoffs used by MFJ in these analyzers:
- Ivory colored, hex shaped nylon standoffs, These attached to two corners of the tray, rested on the circuit board, and supported the weight of the battery tray.
- Brown, tube-shaped fiber material standoffs. These attached to two corners of the tray, rested on the circuit board, and supported the weight of the battery tray.
- Black rubber feet. These two rubber feet attached to the circuit board below the tray, and the battery tray just rested on these two rubber feet.
All three styles of standoff work fine, and 1. and 2. styles are interchangeable. No matter what style of standoff you have, this battery tray will work. If you have style 3., you won't use the two included standoffs.
This tray comes with four screws and two standoffs, so even if your tray is missing, you can still replace it and get back to portable battery power in your antenna analyzer.
This battery holder/tray will NOT fit the plain (no letter suffix) MFJ-259. The MFJ-259 requires two battery holders, each one holding four AA batteries. FatCat.Parts also has those battery holders in stock, just search this site for "MFJ-259", and it will be one of the search responses.
