I'd like to build a spare battery pack for my notebook PC.  The battery pack
for my Jetbook consists of 4 D-sized batteries in ashrink-wrap tube.
It says Sanyo Cadnica Model 4KR-5000DEL:

	4.8V	5000mAh

I went to Radio Shack to look for extra cells, but their nickel cadmium
batteries just go up to 4000mAh.  Likewise Digikey only stocks cells up
to 4000mAH as well.  Can anyone tell me where I can find 5000mAh batteries?

Are there any other alternatice that I can use: Nickel Hydride batteries of
comparable capacity, > 5000m Ah nciads?

Thanks for any pointers,

Daniel
