I have seen posts out here about the small nicad's, Radio Shack sells a 9v Transistor battery that is a Metal Hydride battery that you can cut open and make 4cell packs, I hear it's about 100MaH and wieghs about .8oz. Now I went one step further and bought two cordless phone packs and made a pack that is .9oz and rates at 270MaH and is very small. I'm using it in a mhl that I'm about finished with. This was not a cheap pack, just trying it was $24.00 but they are 2/3 AAA. Yost doesn't show that they carry these sizes but if someone finds them elsewhere please let me know. Thanks.
