Picked it up in a junk box, but held onto it and replaced the rechargeable battery - totally worth it! I've gone through one tip over the years, but I'm sure it will last long enough for me to need a new one. I also have one of your old 7500 series.

Would you have information on the battery specs? Voltage, amp hour rating, dimensions, etc? When I check with Battery Plus, what should I tell them about the battery? Do I just send the battery to them and tell them which model I have and they will do the rest? Thanks for your help. Gary Hansen K8YSZ I have an ISO Tip Model S.I.

I have one of your 7500s from the 80’s. It has served me well, especially down at the boat (my well has no power). I was surprised to read people have trouble with replacement batteries. I buy your 7833 battery, which I guess is for the 60 series iron. Instead of mounting the negative tab to the screw, you solder the black wire down there to the tab. Make sure you file the tab to remove the plating you use; I have trouble making solder stick to the tab without filing. The positive tab mounts to the upper screw location, as the original. Works perfect. I am into the 21 century, still using your product. Hello Iso Tip,
