GS battery replacement

[brian.hammack@rook.wa.com (Brian Hammack)]

My battery isn't dead yet but like us it will go one day, so I'm trying
to come up with replacement info.  Here's what I can say so far:

The battery in mine is a Tadiran lithium TL-5101, 3.6V 850mAh, size
1/2AA, with axial leads.  There are two possibilities here...

WITH LEADS:
Radio Shack     10046423 (order)        $10.49
Jameco          33371                   $5.95

WITHOUT LEADS:
Radio Shack     23-026 (in-store)       $9.99
Jameco          126754                  $8.95

You can decide for yourself which route you want to go (heh, buy an
axial from Jameco and snip if you're not into soldering); what *I* want
to do is find a 1/2AA battery holder -- Jameco doesn't list one and I'll
have to call the parts department of Radio Shack to see if one can be
special ordered.  Will get back to you all on my findings there.

Yes, I know, someone out there has a clip-in battery replacement for the
GS; post the info for the public good.  :)

yet another annoying post by brian.hammack@rook.wa.com -- deal with it.
