[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 994933, member: 176256"] Have you taken the battery out yet? If not you'll need to. Is it a collection of cylindrical cells? The most popular size seems to be 18650 as used in numerous applications such as vaping, the Tesla car, Li-ion battery packs for power tools, etc. [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_battery_sizes#Lithium-Ion_batteries_.28rechargeable.29']List of battery sizes - Wikipedia[/URL] I bought a bunch of 18650 cells with solder tags from [URL='http://stores.ebay.co.uk/ECOLUXSHOP']Ecoluxshop [/URL] firstly using Ebay and then, for a larger order, directly. I paid by PayPal both times. He was very helpful to start with but I think I overwhelmed him with questions (I was on a steep learning curve) as he became unresponsive after a while. I did eventually complete my order with him by simplifying my request right down to basics. He apologised and blamed the amount of work that he was doing. There are various battery capacities(especially on the 18650) available but I would stay with what's fitted originally. There is a temptation to upgrade but you don't know how the charge/discharge circuitry will behave if you do. Equally you may find that the exact type of lithium battery is not available and you will have to replace with an equivalent type. If you tell Ecolux what they are for he can advise what to use. There's your starter for reading here [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery']Lithium-ion battery - Wikipedia[/URL] and there's loads more out there. [/QUOTE]
