Hi all,

I need help. My son is dying to play with an old Biohazard Battlebots RC toy
I found in the attic. The instructions say the bot takes a 6V Rechargeable
NiCd RC battery. The compartment is about 2x3x.5 inches with the +/-
connections on the sides at one end. Since this thing is pretty old, I'm
sure it's possible that they don't make these types of batteries anymore.
The people at Hasbro had no clue. I was hoping that you could give me some
ideas about this. Thanks so much for any info/suggestions you can provide!

Try http://www.modelpower.co.uk/ If they don't have a pre-made pack
that'll fit, they can put one together for you from whatever cells are 
necessary.

Hi Chris,

Thanks so much for this information. Actually I got lucky and found the 
appropriate battery on eBay ("new bright" 6v battery pack). I really 
appreciate your response!

Regards,
BH
