Yep, you half to kludge together a battery pack yourself.f I do this all the time. I salvaged an old portable phone, with dead batteries and no replacements available, by strapping on a battery pack with duct tape. I wrote "Rocket Pack" on the batteries because that's what they look like. The guy in the next cube from me has a pair of alligator clips coming out of his old HP calculator, and he hooks it up to a coupla batteries he stole out of a kodak instamatic camera. Seems they still have a lot of charge after the camera gets through with them. -- Lawrence Lile "Nyquist was an optimist." => Median Filter Source Code => AutoCad blocks for electrical drafting at: http://home1.gte.net/llile/index.htm
