It might not make a perfect solution, but you could
take 2 nicad cells (1.25V each) of similar diameter
and a shorter length (N size?) and place them in series
in shrink tubing to make a replacement cell.
Yeah - I thought about that. Don't want to go there if I don't have to, though.
(I did fail to mention in my original post that it requires 2 of these
little beasts, thus making a 5V supply necessary.)
Also check out the oddball batteries available for
photo equipment. There's a lot of odd voltages in
that category, though you might have to slightly
modify the cell holder (widen it a bit).
Yeah - thought about that, too. It is a fairly tight fit already, so
widening the battery compartment doesn't look feasible.
At this point, I'm thinking that if there isn't a direct replacement for
this cell, I'll just pay the bucks to get it refurbished so it can use
something more conveniently available.
Appreciate the suggestions though!
