The original batteries in the Pro Driver II were 1300 mah Sub C  
Nicads.  However they are pretty big for that capacity by today's  
standards.  You can open it up and solder in a higher capacity  
replacement pack from a lot of sources, including Radio South.

One I like is Battery Space.  You can get an 1800 mah Sub C 4.8 volt  
pack here:  http://www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?

It is the same size as the original 1300 mah pack and has a lot more  
capacity.

If you're handy with a soldering iron, you can get still more  
capacity and make up your own pack from these individual 2100 mah Sub  
C cells:  http://www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?
