[QUOTE="DrDuck, post: 191813, member: 158"] It looks like the Sovereign used a Metal Nickle Hydride battery pack. I don't know much about detectors, but in radio use, it is common to "crack" the pack and replace the individual cells therein. As there are a few different battery configurations (tabbed etc), you need to crack the pack to see what you need. Replacements can be got from a number of suppliers. New generation batteries have a much better current rating, and so this should improve the life of the pack no end. An alternative would be to use modern rechargables in the AAA Alkaline battery adapter, if Brother still has it. Either of these options would be much cheaper than the alarming prices in the link above. The cells can be got quite cheaply. [/QUOTE]
