Need battery advice

[batwing4ever]

Which battery works best for Astro Sabers in the AVA? The "regular" (i.e.: HNN9033A)Saber batteries are too long and the radio won't go in enough.

Hmmm, maybe something shorter?

Just noticed that's an Impres battery, don't think I'd want to charge that in a non-Impres charger anyway. Why mess up a good warrenty? (24 mo VS 18mo)

How tall is that battery? 3.25 or 4"? If it's 3.25 you might need a "short" battery, which would either be the 1350mah NimH or the LiIon and i sure don't recommend charging that in a dumb AVA.

I have a collection of Saber batteries and all of them are 4" tall, some are standard, some are Impress, some are unmarked and anyone's guess what they are.

I did a little measuring on the AVA's and it appears a 3.25" battery should work. Do you have any part numbers or things to look or on eBay?

MOL is offline right now, but I will see what I can find later tonight. I have two Multiplier M4593 batteries that are 3.25" and 1100mAh. I assume motorola has a battery with 4593 as the model number as well. I can't say I'd buy anything besides motorola or multiplier.

Thanks, that helps a lot. Now I have a starting point.
