hi, all
my air bed's electric air pump doesn't hold a charge anymore - after several times of usage.
i took the pump apart and looked inside, there's four cylindrical rechargeable batteries attached with the innner case, it seems these batteries can be switched out for replacement. the air pump is generic one, comes with my air bed, anyone knows where can i get rechargeable batteries for replacement?

How old is the pump? How many times is "several times of use"? If you've only used it a few times and it's not very old, it may be still under warranty and you can get the pump or batteries replaced for free.
the airbed/pump is a couple years old, and i used it for 3 times when i went for camping trip. since i'm going for another camping trip next week, i took it out and tried to get the gear ready. however i found out it doesn't hold charge anymore even though i charged for a significantly period of time.
i noticed inside the pump it has 5 white-colored batteries connected in series, one of them marked with 'Propine 6V 1.6A 0201', i did a search and found this online,
Yes good batteries are expensive, just remember that a cheap pump from walmart will probably fail in the same way in about the same amount of time.
I should add that you could try a hobby store, 6 cell packs for R/C cars are usually pretty cheap, you could take them apart to change the configuration but your air pump would run fine on 7.2v.
Wal-Mart. Why not?
Ni think i have more fun to recycle stuff than just buying a brand new one :-)
actually i just got one from walmart, it uses 4 D-sized batteries, so no more discharge problem. but it's more bulky and heavy than the one i had before
