Hi, for the life of me I can not work out what batteries this radio takes. It looks like it takes three different kinds judging by the label on it, this pic is attached.

Can anyone tell me what it takes and even better link me to a site where I can buy a set of 2 with a charger?

Thanks very much

Just as a matter of interest where did you get it from ?

Thanks for the reply, so just to confirm, the battery set attached will be compatible? It isn't letting me post the screwfix link for some reason.

It was a gift, im nearly sure it came from Screwfix themselves but they were no help when I asked in store which batteries will work.

Does it still work? You could try it on the mains first.

i need to ask what you are trying to achieve ??
if its to get a new tool system to match the radio ??
or to get the radio working at any cost
or to get value for money and a working radio ??

It's to get working batteries at any cost.

Why? Do you realise it is going to cost you more to buy batteries and charger than it will cost to buy a brand new one.

then to get best value then buy a starter kit off say 2 batts charger and say a drill probably £30 more
