If you're looking for the back-up battery for the Kenwood TH-78 (Kenwood Part No.W09-0570-05) then see the ML1220 page.

A word of caution about the Li-ion type: This should never be recharged with the standard Ni-Cd/Ni-MH charger as severe damage, fire or explosion can result. A proper Li-ion charger is available.
