The NiCad batteries for emergency head retract are
toast. These look like
standard 1.2V 2/3AA 400mAh cells. It looks like some cordless phones use
the same batteries so I can buy an assembled 4.8V battery pack.
That's what I've always done.
Any other suggestions for replacement batteries for
the RK05?
Yes: check the polarity. On mine the red was -ve and the black was +ve.
Connecting red to red and black to black caused the heads to meet my
hand rather sharply (and I use that adjective advisedly) but fortunately
the red sticky stuff was easy to clean off.
