Ten-Tec Model 2990 Alkaline Battery Case for the 2591 & TT 920 Hand Held Transceiver New in the Box

 
Ten-Tec Model 2990 is the optional Alkaline Battery Case (also called AA battery pack or alkaline cell holder) designed as an accessory for the Ten-Tec Model 2591 2-meter FM handheld transceiver (a vintage 144–148 MHz ham radio HT from the early 1980s) and the TT-920 handheld aviation band transceiver (VHF airband portable radio).Key Details and Specifications
  • Purpose: Provides an alternative power source using standard 6 x AA alkaline batteries (total 9V nominal) instead of the rechargeable NiCd battery pack (Model 2991, 8.4V 450 mAh). This is useful for extended field use, emergencies, or when NiCd charging isn't available—alkalines offer longer shelf life and no memory effect, though lower capacity than rechargeables.
  • Design: Plastic battery holder/case that replaces the NiCd pack; slides into the 2591/TT-920's battery compartment with the same contacts/connectors; holds 6 AA cells in series for ~9V output; no built-in electronics beyond basic holder (simple drop-in replacement).
  • Compatibility: Specifically for Model 2591 (ham 2m HT) and TT-920 (aviation airband handheld); both share similar battery interfaces in Ten-Tec's early HT line.
  • Era: Early 1980s (matched 2591 production; listed in the 2591 owner's manual as an optional accessory alongside Model 2991 NiCd pack, 2992 5-hour desk charger, etc.).
  • Build: Durable plastic case; lightweight; discontinued long ago (no current Ten-Tec support/production).
