Are we talking
about more or less standard gel cells? The 2V terminal voltage
would seem to indicate so.
Yes.
Those are *very* standardized, in terms of
similar sizes being offered by a
great many different manufacturers. When I was doing the retail battery
thing some years back (roughly 1993-5), we carried PowerSonic and one other
brand I'm not remembering at the moment, and the sizes for similar
capacities was a pretty good match for the Panasonic units listed in the
Digi-Key catalog. Folks would come in with all sorts of other units and I
was usually able to match them up with something that would fit.
I'm not concerned about specific vendors - just D-sized (to fit the
enclosure) with solder-tabs.
