I've found it is worth looking happy and paying RS.

I've previously bought GP 9000mAh D-cells from

Thanks - have you personal experience with them or was that a search result?

AWEM

ISTR that there are *big* trade discounts at RS if you can get them

I had a battery re-celled by these people:-

The bigger Ah means an increase the capacity of the cells in these, giving you a longer runtime from each charge.

Return UK shipping is included

- Prices are for *each* battery pack. - Quotes are valid for 30 days. - Each battery is fully tested before return. - 12 month warranty is included. - Turnaround is typically within 14 days.

Very pleased with it - seems to produce as much torque as the original and lasts at least as long.

Only time will tell how long lived it is - it was only done about 6 months ago.

The cost is so similar to buying decent cells on their own in small quantities it's not worth DIYing it.

overlander are OK I used them a couple of times years ago

others was a search

Here ye go; good quality, good backup, no s*it.

I get an educational discount, which makes the stuff merely expensive rather than extortionate. But you have to factor in the reliable next- day free delivery.

As far as I can see there aren't any under the rechargeable heading. I suppose they'd have to be tagged for this purpose. I have soldered to the top of an AA cell (used a dud one) but could be expensive/nasty if it goes wrong.

BTW, the Makita charger for combis will charge NiCd or NiMH so I suppose in most cases, with a decent charger, the replacement battery could be upgraded.
