Issue in Finding Batteries

[YellowMenace]

So, I've been having issues with an old rechargeable battery pack and am planning on replacing it. There's been several problems I've constantly been facing while searching for a new battery. First off, I haven't been able to find any 7.4 volt batteries with a capacity of more than 2000mAh and I need one that carries about 2600mAh or more. I also have a problem with finding connectors, I always see batteries with 4+ wires and 2-3 connectors, I just need a battery with only a positive and a negative, none of the other cables and connectors. It doesn't even need a connector, I can just reuse the one from my old battery, just those 2 exposed cables.

 

TL;DR: Need a 7.4 volt battery with a capacity of <2600mAh and only a positive and a negative input and output.

Have you checked any R/C stores?

i did a simple internet search and i easily found what you wanted i doubt you need to use us to look for you when its so easy

what is it for?

you can find nimh or nicad in 1.2, 2.4, 3.6, 4.8, 6.0, 7.2, 8.4, 9.6, etc... Volts

if you need exactly 7.4 you can get 2 cell lipo batteries, but those need a balances to keep them safe from exploding

what youve probably got there is a li-ion cell

idk where you can get those, other than from the original manufacturer

Yup with no luck, they always have the ones with 2-3 connectors and a million cables.

A crappy little netbook with some potential (it's not bad considering it was only $40,) I was hoping to get some form of Linux on it instead of it's terrible version of windows ce. (this thing: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834684001, no pictures but it's pretty generic.)

 

I'm pretty sure it can use any battery with just a positive and negative, so long it's the right voltage. The original battery for it had only a positive and negative connection, no ground or things of that sort.

ok then anything from 7-8V should work with that

have you tried just using a direct power connector to supply the 7.4V?

Your best bet for 7.4v is a 2 cell LIPO battery, but they are kinda expensive and need a special charger. 

For a laptop, you should be with a 7.2 volt battery. http://www.rcplanet.com/DuraTrax_Onyx_6_Cell_Stick_Stand_p/dtxc2055.htm

Or you can go to this website and make a custom sized/shaped batter back: http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com/custompacks2/CustomPacks.aspx?mid=20  

Choose 6 cells and either the Elite 2400 or elite 3300 cells
