Ah. No big problem


The battery has to be removed from the tank to charge it, it's 8 AA size
cells in a plastice shrink wrap with a 2 pin Molex type connector so
none of my other chargers will fit.

Probably Tamiya. Not molex


I've search the 'net for a
replacement battery and charger without any luck so I'm hoping someone
in this group can point me toward solution.Â* The battery pack is a
fairly tight fit into the tank so I'm going to need an almost direct
replacement.

Are the cells flatpack 8x12 or 4x2 config? This sounds like a bog
standard RC transmitter pack except for the connector.




I have a pic of the battery but have no idea how to post it to the 'net.

Hmm.
Its it one of these?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/BAKTH-Recha...dp/B0796R4614/

Charger should show on that page as well

They may be nicad batteries, given the age of it which adds to the
problem.Â* The tank actually "fires shells" (actually bb pellets) over no
great distance and with little force which tended to startle people!
I'd rather keep it for a while then give it to someone who will
appreciate it instead of throwing away to landfill.
Sorry for bleating on at length but can anyone offer possible solutions?
Thanks for reading,

Bob.
