2.5V Lithium "AA" sized batteries: Where to find?

Varta make an AA size Li/Mn02 with PCB tags, which you might be able to cut off. Sorry, I don't know the part number, but it's still shown as current in my CPC[1] catalogue. Sonnenschein, SAFT, Maxell, and others also make 3.6V lithium AA cells, if that's any good. They're (or were) used in a few computers, including Compaq Portables and some older Tandon and Toshiba models. Some companies make 1/2-AA size cells. They're usually 3.6V lithium/thionyl chloride and commonly used in Apple Macs, but I think I've seen 1/2-AA 1.2V NiCd or NiMh ones as well (2/3-AA are quite common). [1] CPC, aka Combined Precision Components, is a supplier of electronics and other items in the UK. However, it's part of the Farnell Group along with Farnell Electronic Components and Newark so you might be able to find the same things on Farnell's US web site. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
