In the US we have some battery stores call batteries plus and they are a stock item. posted is an example on ebay.

Title: Re: battery Post by: FORDSBS on March 15, 2012, 04:48:16 PM fordsbs, do those fit ok on the igt board? They lare full AA size. Same size as AA. You can't beat the price. Ford Title: Re: battery Post by: Buzz on March 15, 2012, 05:02:47 PM But Ford S+ uses a 1/2 AA True the voltage is correct but the battery is to long. With a little soldering skills, it can be made to fit.

With a little soldering skills, it can be made to fit. Didn't realize he has an S+. He asked if the same size as a AA battery which it is. Title: Re: battery Post by: Buzz on March 15, 2012, 05:15:57 PM I guess I shouldn't have assumed they were S+.
Title: Re: battery Post by: jbshocks on March 15, 2012, 05:44:58 PM he didn't say it was S+ but he did say it was 1/2 aa.
Title: Re: battery Post by: FORDSBS on March 15, 2012, 05:48:20 PM he didn't say it was S+ but he did say it was 1/2 aa. You are correct. I missed that. I thought it was full size. :279- :279- Title: Re: battery Post by: mark the spark on March 15, 2012, 06:10:52 PM thanks guys will look them up on e bay :
im sure i will be back with other questions later Title: Re: battery Post by: rickhunter on March 20, 2012, 02:14:42 PM You might want a "permanent" solution so you don't have to ever solder again. The last time my S+ had a dead battery I did this:
