Need some help with batteries...

[PeterB]

... I have some lab equipment that use odd battery types. Mostly cordless pipetting devices. They need new batteries-- but I'm having problems finding the correct replacements. The batteries are:

1) Saft LS 26500, Lithium 3.6V, not sure what mAh ... my remembrance is that this is actually not the exact original battery used for this particular device. My experience with these LS 26500 batteries is that they do work, but don't seem to last as long as the one I was originally using with the device. (Unfortunately, I don't remember which battery type was the one I originally had...)

2) Sanyo Cadnica N-270AA, 1.2V, 270mAh.

In both cases, I wouldn't be adverse to getting "better" batteries than what I have, in the sense of batteries that would allow for higher capacities or especially longer lifetimes.

Anyone know where to get these, and/or better versions thereof?

Here's the 1st one:

and here's the 2nd one both from the same place.

I have not dealt with them.

I'll second Thomas Distributing

I bought some replacement batteries off them and phoned the order in

It wasn't some call center taking the order - but sounded like the old knowledgeable guy
behind the counter. He asked me a couple qustions to clarify and made a suggestion

I had my batteries in a couple of days and was very happy with the quality and price - nice guys

I had old Milwakee cordless screwdriver that I could not find replacements for and I stumbled across these folks. They rebuild most batteries, reasonable and prompt. They might be able to help you?
