WR has discontinued my battery pack. They suggested that I contact batteries plus to have one built. Anyone every made or had a battery pack built for something like this.

Got a picture of what the old on looks like, and the specs on it? Voltage, or number of smaller batteries in the pack? Amps?
Snopczynski, welcome to the forum.
I don’t have a picture as the batteries were leaking and I threw them in the recycle, It was a 5 Cell NI-MH 6.0V 3200mAh. It was similar to the picture I attached.
Thanks

I would think AA are 1.5 volts so 5 would be more than 6 volt but 7.5 might still be in range. Solder some wire in series + to - ets then to the connector. Use rechargable batteries which may be a little less voltage. Do you have the charger. ??
Ni-cad rechargable batteries are only 1.2 volts each, unlike alkaline batteries that are 1.5 volts each. So five ni-cads would be 6 volts. Don't know if ni-mh or lithium-ions are the same as ni-cads or not.
After doing a little more research I think this is were I've landed. I'm going to gather the stuff today and build one. I just cant see throwing the thing out or spending a bunch of money having someone else build one.
Thanks for the impute. :tup: :tup: :tup:
