Battery options for 82143A printer

[Paul Berger (Canada)]

One problem is the batteries used in these packs are sub-C size which are generally flat top batteries, so are not convenient for a pack with removable cells. I have put together a pack using 4 AAA NiMh cells and that works, I could not fit 4 AA cells into the battery pack shell. I also run my 97 from a pack I hacked together from a single cell Lithium "Power pack". The power pack is of the type that turns on the 5V when a load is presented and turns of again automatically when the load is taken away. To charge it I retained the micro USB connector that was provided for that purpose, so charging is convenient. I have also used it successfully in a HP-IL printer. These are things I hacked together, I don't know of anyone who is offering anything like this for sale.
