need another battery for my monster truck
I need another 12v2100mah battery for my turbo monster truck. I went to a hobby shop today and they didn't have one or know where to get one. The picture below is the battery I am looking for. Any help would be appreciated.

it looks like an old camcorder battery, you know, one of the big ones you would carry on your shoulder. just has a couple leads and a tamiya plug soldered to it. i would check with radio shack or try doing a search for the manufacturer on the web.

If the battery is just not holding a charge anymore and its a NiCd,ty cycling it.Get an 1157 car brake light bulb and solder 2 leads to it and let the battery drain even after the light goes out then recharge.Do this a couple of times and it should hold a good charge.If you can find someone with a peak prediction charger(automatic)it will make the process much quicker.If all else fails go to walmart and buy some aa NiMh 2800 batts and have your lhs make you a pack or do it yourself.Hope this helps.
