There was a thread under "Re: Uwatec Batteries" you could search the
archives for this.  I kept the email below from Ian & Barbara Marshall.

Joe McGrath [jmcgrath@na*.ar*.mi*] also suggested:

Newark Electronics 800-463-9275
part no. #87F6406    $8.10

I would like to thank all 27 people who replied to my request for alternate
battery suggestions for Aladen Pro/Monitor II batteries.

Although there were several different suggestions, by far the most popular
(80%) was the Tadiran High Capacity TL-5903/T 3.6 volt AA size Lithium
battery. (Note the /T is for solder tabs). This battery has a life of 3-5
years in use or 5-6 years in storage.

Although I didn't check US pricing, thief web site
http://www.tadiranbat.com  has a list of dealers and distributors.

The Canadian distributor is Electosonic Canada    http://www.e-sonic.com
who have a number of offices across Canada.  They will sell the batteries
individually at a cost of $9.35 CDN. The Toronto sales number is (416)
494-1555 and the Manu Code they require is 474. If you have to ship by
courier, there is a $11.00 dangerous goods charge so you may want to order
extra for a friend or local dive shop to keep the cost down. (the local
dive shops are charging $30-35.00 CDN for the Uwetec battery).

Now, if we can find a source for the 2 part gel used in the Monitors, maybe
we can drop that price from $75-80.00 CDN to something more reasonable.

Thanks again.   Ian

All,

I need some recommendations or pointers for potting
material and battery sources (3.6 v lithium w/tabs)
to service a USD M2.

Thanks in advance,

Dennis
