I took the Radio Shack rechargeable batteries out of my SAT a few weeks ago and I was just about to get replacements and I can't remember how many there were! (I soldered them together originally). I assume it's 9 volts divided by the 1.2 volts per battery (8) but can anyone confirm that? I'm using Radio Shack part #23-125A 1.2 volt 700ma batteries. Thanks in advance. I hope everyone has a nice Christmas. Hey Ric... maybe on the 19th day of Christmas my Parson will come to me with a new SAT 3 and a new pack of batteries... for free. Na.
