3.6 V Lightest bat!! Battery fits in original bay as well!
Maplins UK sell a 3.6V ni-mh PCB Mounting cell and it is 3 pounds!!!! This would fin in the original battery slot also.
It is as light as the original tomy cell!!!!

Do you have a link to this place, or pics of the batteries you are referring to? That would be great

Judging by the picture only one type of battery in that category will fit in the chassis of a bit, and it also says they become fully charged in approximately 14 hours. That sounds a little shifty to me. If anyone finds a battery that they have installed and driven around and works, please post up your findings.

I hope u all havent bought the cell yet!!!
I went 2 maplins and found that it was a little larger than which they said it was!!!! It will not fit in the existing battery holder w/o cutting it about!!
But it may fit in the bit under the pcb,but ud have 2 move the capacitor, Im gonna buy 1 and c how it fits my clone!!!!
Yhey also do a 2.4 v ni-mh like this,but i couldn't c it because they didn't have it in stock. I'll keep u posted.
