Are you saying that you have a pack of your own and just don't want to
open and experiment on that one? Most of the time it will be pretty
obvious what sort of cells are in a battery pack. My Racal has three
regular tabbed Ni-Cad AA cells in it -- available most anywhere for a
couple of bucks each. Most companies just don't use odd-sized cells in
their packs; they design around whatever is a commodity item at the
moment to save money and to future-proof the product.


No basically I am saying that buying a rebuilt is much less expensive
than
buying new and that buying a rebuilt is economically a better choice
depending on how much time you have available to putter around for the
sake
of saving $25~$30.

The OP stated that he wanted to "try taking it apart". So for all we
know
the battery may have a welded cover that might not go back together as
expected once you break it open. I was offering the suggestion of
having a
pro replace or rebuild to save time and or the battery pack from being
destroyed.

I was replying to the OP, not to your reply to the OP.



ahhhhhhh, so sorry.
