Brand? Type? : -) The 9.6v pack I bought has 8 tabbed AA-size NiMH cells, since that's what would fit inside a PB500 series battery. As for brand, I imagine you'll find various brand cells inside R/C packs. Stop by the hobby shop and examine what they've got, it'll be pretty obvious what will fit the bill and what won't.
