The date is July 1986, Radio Electronics, page 67. On a related note, the address of the batteries I posted earlier is _NOT_ the place I got the batteries (although they do have them), but I remembered that I got the batteries from mouser electronics. Their phone # is 1-817-483-4422 (in texas) or 1-619-449-2222 (in california). The relevant part number is: 12 volt battery 1.8 amp/hour 547-PS-1219 $19.90 (one price). They have 14 different ratings of amp/hours, for 6 and 12 volt batteries. There is a chance that my old place of employment would sell some of these chargers, or the boards to build them on. The company name is : Weigh Systems Inc. 501-751-7225 And the person to talk to is probably: Brian Espenschied. Good luck! Greg Garner gmg@hcx.uucp 501-442-4847

In article <1955@lll-lcc.llnl.gov> rzh@lll-lcc.llnl.gov (Roger
Hanscom) asks about the availability of gel cells.
From the November, 1988 issue of Radio-Electronics, page 114, in
an ad placed by American Design Components:
GEL CELL/LEAD ACID BATTERIES...
6V @ 4.0AH $7.95
6V @ 9.5AH $14.95
Word of warning: the ad lead copy says that their stuff is
"either brand new or removed from equipment in excellent
condition".
