Cheers I thought I had remembered the name but obviously not (not many 
of the old brain cells still work) still I cant fingd any cheap ones I 
think this is going to need a re-design to get something else to fit

I bought one last year for starting model aircraft engines, can't find
the supplier, but it was an on-line battery shop. ISTR price was more
than £5 and less than £10

Gates Cyclon 'X' Cells are 5AH 2V each.

DMS Technology in Romsey, Hants were the distributors.

Multicell Ltd of Broughton Astley, Leics probably have them in stock or can get
them, 01455 283443.

There were individual cells, then they brought out 4V and 6V monobloc versions.
