Looking for battery

No luck on ebay ??

Many of the parts on alibaba are also available in small qty from aliexpress.

Have you tried

Same company, but you can buy in single units. I have found similar sized batteries there for my GPS etc.

That's often the case. Maybe some different search terms would help. For example, if you find that the same model of battery is used in another device, searching for batteries for use with that other device might bring up the ones you're after.

tried them.

not so far.

I tried the querie with just the description and not the part no, got loads but none of a similar size, tried reader and tablet batteries of other kinds still no joy.

Am I the only person who gets annoyed at the way almost every *cell* is described as a 'battery' these days?

I understand it - "cell" has quite a few other common uses these days (biological, idealogical, telephony, imprisonment, structural, ...) whereas "battery" doesn't really. It's almost never used to mean a group of things any more and other than 'assault and battery' most people haven't heard it used in other ways.

That said the scientist / literalist part of me still gets a little annoyed every time I see 'battery' used in place of cell. I remember other students getting a right old telling off if they confused the two in science class. I only did it once.

It's a shame that we don't have another commonly used word for electrical storage unit other than cell or battery IMO. Still, the definition of words changes over time and I've been around for a reasonably long time.

OK, but I was suggesting you look to see if the same battery model is used in another device, then search for batteries (cells, for the misfits out there :) ) to match that specific other device.

It's not always easy, but if they are listed on Alibaba but not elsewhere it could just be that they are normally sold for use in another device.

We've got "accumulator", but that's archaic, so not commonly used any more

there is a version of alibaba that caters for retail. someoen might help you out.

any wiggle room? will 3.5 * 55 * 85 fit ?

else you could put several small batteries in paralllel.

True - I'd forgotten about that one. It will likely stay as 'battery'. :-/

LOL! ;)

Using only the battery number in google or ebay only gets alibaba no other devises no nothing. It is in a cheap Aldi device, ans I would get nowhere with them, it is not a user replaceable device, my only hope is to stumble apon the nearest thing in a name brand device,but so far no luck

Are you talking aliexpress if so no go.

Yes, 60x110 would also but the thickness not much leeway, original long and skinny but there is a speaker in the corner that stops going wider unless it is shorter. Another problem is reader batteries are simple, two leads. tablet batteries have 4 leads to work out

Odd, I have a tablet battery here on the bench in front of me. It has only two leads. It came out of a Pendo Pad (I think) which was a 7 or 8 inch Android tablet. It is 72.5mm x 92mm x 2.5mm so not going to be useful for you. I don't even know if this battery works, the Pendo Pad it came from sure didn't. I've been meaning to dump it in one of those battery recycle places but haven't got a round tuit yet. ;-)
