Hi,

I'm replacing the battery in a GPS unit. Looks to
be an "A" cell (no, not AA or AAA), 3.7V 1800mAHr.
Of course, the battery has pigtails soldered to it
so I'll need something with either pigtails or solder
tabs as its replacement (I doubt I could add any
sort of battery holder in this small space!).


google 18650.


Thanks! Seems to be the right size and capacity;
but I need something with *pigtails*:

I haven't a clue as to how I could otherwise make the
connection to the battery (without risking explosion/damage).
