I'm Looking For 1/2 AAA Nimh/NiCad Batteries

Does anyone know where I would get some 1/2AAA Nimh (or NiCad) batteries? I'm hoping to stack them to boost voltage, (double the cells, double the voltage) but I can 't track then down anywhere. I have seen references to packs made from them, but none of the online battery sellers seem to have the packs or the cells.

Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated, thanks!!

Cian

2/3 NiMh

Cian,

These are the guys I buy my batteries from

http://www.batteriesplus.co.uk/acatalog/home.html

They should have what youre looking for, but they are tagged cells which makes it easier to solder two cells together. UK based, so it should be easier for you order from them
If they don't, drop them a mail.

2/3 cells

Cian,

Do a search on http://uk.yahoo.com and tick the UK Only Tab.
Use the phrase "Tagged Cells" and you will find the industrial battery supply companies. My guess is that most 2/3's like the 3/4 AA's will be tagged, as they are usually used for product integration.
Let me know the outcome.

thing is mondo, I'm looking for 1/2 AAA, not 2/3 or 3/4. I want to fit 6 cells to my kawada, without modifying anything on the chassis. Ikinari did this before, and seems a much neater solution than wiring up an extra cell holder. If I can find a pack that uses cells this size, I'll take them apart and use them. I think the ABC DTM battery pack uses them, can anyone confirm this?





Thanks
Cian#

EDIT: not worried about getting these exact yakomo cells, just that size...

Hi Cian,

Check www.rainbowten.co.jp. Do a keyword search using "Yokomo" and you will find this:

3503435004542,YOKOMO,,1600yen,YB-2708 NIMH 1.2V 270mAH RECHARGEABLE Ni-MH BATTERY 8pcs

I believe this is what ikinari has. It comes with two dummy cells, too...I think.

That's them, thanks a million Donut! I've mailed them to see if they'll ship overseas to Ireland, there's no checkout on the site...

Hi Cian,

Glad to be of help. Just click on their "How to Order" link. Fill up the form/template they have there and email it to the specified address. I've bought some stuff from them so I'm sure they'll ship to Ireland, too.
