Greetings Jack,
Two sources I know of. First is Thomas Distributing, they sell Maha
batteries which have given me great service. The batteries and Thomas
Distributing. I don't know if they sell the exact batteries you want.
Second is Primecell. At www.primecell.com . They are a battery
rebuilding service. The rebuild batteries to better than original
specs. Good luck!
Cheers,
