<font face="Arial"></font id="Arial">[:o)]The best battery prices in the entire world are at www.batteryspace.com. 2000ma "AA" cells for just over $1.00 each in lots of 24. No foolin'! Chargers, too. I just battery powered a Bachman Climax (my first electric-I'm a confirmed live steamer) with 10 cells. The thing runs 1 1/2 hours on a charge pulling 6 cars. These batteries are extremely durable, and the smart charger they offer for $49.95 will charge this home made pack of 10 cells faster than the locomotive can discharge them. This charger may not come with instructions. If this is the case, BE SURE to attach the magnetic temperature probe to your battery pack. The unit will charge so fast (2 amp rate!) that without the temperature probe in place, the batteries will fry. Go look at www.batteryspace.com soon. There are new bargins every week. Check out my Climax conversion at www.geocities.com/steamrocks/rivendell.html and go to 'locomotive roster' then click on the Climax title below the photo for technical detals.
