Need to replace a rechargeable battery pack from a 18 year old radio
scanner( Black panther/challenger bj200).. the label on the batteries
says sanyo but cant see any part number.. its a row of 5 AA size
looking batteries sealed in plastic with a red and black wire exiting..
the charger is for 6V .anyone any ideas for a replacement?

If you can't source a replacement check the actual physical sizes against
lists from a electronic supplier.
They might be industrial rather than domestic types so slightly smaller.
You can then buy the correct cells with tags that may be soldered. Use
some heat shrink sleeving to hold the whole lot together. You should be
able to re-use the existing wire and connector.
