Re: Control panel battery for a B20?

[Keith Carpenter <carpcon@xxxxxxx>]

3.6volt nicad

The 3 cells are just "short" length AA nicad batteries.
You can find them online or possibly a local electronics store.

You might try using standard size AA or AAA cells in a 3 cell battery 
holder.  It will be cheaper and also easier the next time if you ever 
have to replace them again.
