($9.75/9V, $5.75/2 pack of D-cells, etc) Another poster recommended Costco, a 'wholesale warehouse'. If this is not an option, another possibility is Home Depot. Yet another is your-local- hardware-store. Do be careful with substituting NiCad batteries for other types, they have both lower resistance and voltage. If the load they are driving is also low resistance, an excessive current can result. On the other hand, they may not provide sufficient voltage for some devices, due to their lower voltage. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rob Eccles | Disclaimer: The statements made here do not rob@vitsemi.COM | represent my employer or anyone else.
