[NTLK] Battery options for MP2100

[Elias Basse]

Thank you Frank,

I am located in Louisiana, US.  I should have the unit by next Monday as it is shipping via post. 

This is my first MP2100 and I look forward to it!

I appreciate the offer for a battery, and will let you know if I will need to make arrangements with you after I get the unit.

Many Thanks for your assistance!

Elias
