All brands of drill batteries have adapters you can get (searc for power wheels battery adapters) so you can use what ever brand batteries. I use dewalt at home and milwaukee at work. Then just put in some small voltage controllers and run whatever. I use an rb951 for the techs because I have some specific scenario configs in them. but if its only for managing a single radio a hap board is perfect
