Peter,
Thanks, I did get it apart to confirm the battery configuration. I found
a place here in California that has the same battery configuration
with the same chemistry as the one Skyforce used. It's about $3.25 plus
Shipping. You have to request they weld on solderable tabs but that only
costs and $0.25. I've been soldering for about 50 years but every once
in a while I do lift a trace. I hate those 50W wire wound resisters
soldered into a .020" trace. Easy to put in and hard to get out.

Thats why they make side cuts and chain saws :-) Seriously... that's one
spot where it's easy to lift a trace.
