Thanks to all of the kind people who have offered help and information, 
I am now sorted out.

The cheapest and most accessable source of these batteries seems to be 
the Tandy shops. Their own brand lithium batteries are GBP 9.99 inc VAT.

This is considerably cheaper than the near thirty pounds (including 
post and VAT) quoted by one dealer.

For information, my battery was infact dead. Its open terminal voltage 
was 4.23V. I has considered replacing it with something cheaper but 
there isn't a suitable alkaline 6V battery and I didn't like the idea 
of strapping four 1.5V cells together. OK, I could have got a carrier, 
but with post and hassle etc, I thought I would try to get the real 
thing considering this one has lasted over seven years.

Regards,

Alun Webber
