I opened one of my Versatech batteries up. It was quite easy and only
required cutting the end off after removing the plastic cap. The
problem is that it is NOT a sub C but very close. It is a custom size
of some sort. However, I saw on the internet that someone was
rebuilding these, so the batteries must be available. I have a link
to a drawing I made. The dimensions are accurate. The battery really
is 21.85 mm in diameter. A sub C would not fit because the battery
case has a tight tolorance. Does anyone know where I can get NiCd and
NmH cells like these?
