<DIV>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. </DIV>

<DIV>One I like is Battery Space. You can get an 1800 mah Sub C 4.8
volt pack here: <A

<DIV>It is the same size as the original 1300 mah pack and has a lot more
capacity. </DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>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: <A
