Not cheap, so any good sites out there?

Failing that, (2nd hand ?)bargain-bucket 4500mAh NiCads would do at a pinch.

I need 10...and a second mortgage by the looks of it!

Do they have to be D cells? I found that I could get 4 1800mAH AA's and use them in parallel (gave me 7.2AH) for cheaper then I got get a D cell.

In the end I think I got mine from www.7dayshop.com

But there are bloody hundreds of suppliers out there, I ended up just spending about an hour on the net find them before plumping for 7dayshop, but this was about 6months aho so no doubt things will have changed.

Laters,

Try

Battery House

They do loads of batteries at good prices, new battery for a Suunto Vyper, £2.00 inc postage.

I've used them a couple of times with no bother

Eurobatteries.com &lt;----- &nbsp;£9.89 each 8000mAh

How's that for a selection?

<font color='#0000FF'>Run a search for budget batteries.

Think the last time I priced a set of 10 industrial (tagged) 9000maH D Cells they were around £80.

You will also need a charging unit. Check out the maha c777!

Or Anchor Surplus in Nottingham for shedloads of cheap NiCd's.
