Yeah - I thought about that. Don't want to go there if I don't have to, though.

(I did fail to mention in my original post that it requires 2 of these 
little beasts, thus making a 5V supply necessary.)

Yeah - thought about that, too. It is a fairly tight fit already, so 
widening the battery compartment doesn't look feasible.

At this point, I'm thinking that if there isn't a direct replacement for 
this cell, I'll just pay the bucks to get it refurbished so it can use 
something more conveniently available.


Appreciate the suggestions though!
