Turner +2 mic battery

My guess would be yes.
Someone who knows will chime in shortly I bet.

I have never heard of a sidekick 60. What is the general shape of the battery?

I have a turner handheld sidekick 60. It is wired with a din realistic plug end. It is black mic with white printing. I cant read the lettering on the battery because it is rubbed off. I would really like to use this mic again. Can I assume this mic takes the same battery or batteries as the +2 and +3?

If you're thinking about the Turner Road King 60, yes that one takes the same battery. Same mic, but with a different label in a black case.

If it is a Road King, get some 3/8” or 9mm heat shrink, and some LR44 cells and stack 5 of them inside the heat shrink. Trim it just right then heat it up just enough to shrink it down. Then you will have a 7.5v battery much cheaper than what they sell for these days!

I made one yesterday for my M+3B. 5 cells + 1 small brass washer to get the length right, gotta make sure that you have adequate contact pressure (?).

Looks like some dog collar batteries are the same, Amazon retailer even recognizes their use in Turner mics.......

Five LR44’s with the 3/8” heat shrink come out perfect and much cheaper, but I get that some will not want to assemble them by hand like I do. Last time I ever bought any commercial made batteries I was unimpressed with them overall. But, hopefully others have better luck with them!

The excell A175 looks like it would be a suitable replacement.
