where to buy 3.6v AAA sized batteries?

[thesk8nmidget]

does anyone know of a local store that sells a 3 volt or higher AAA sized battery?

or of anyway to make 7 volts with a 3 AAA sized holder for my flashlight build?

i know about the 10440 batteries from DX but i need these by this weekend.

thanks in advanced

You could try a camera shop.

I don't know what "local" means for you. Search 10440 in Google. See if one of the battery houses is close enough to you.

i just mean a well known big store that has them.

but i am in houston tx


i have also tried searching with the 10440 number and my location and it doesnt find anything.

is there any alternatives to the 10440?

I don't know of an alternative.

Even with Express Mail, I cannot get them to you before the middle of the day on Saturday (plus the postage is over $18)

Let's hope someone in TX has some.

Peace,

thanks dave for the effort.

i may just mod a little battery holder to fit 3 cr123a's inside my pocket pal type host

i'll keep this thread updated if i make it work

i didnt mean the cr123's i meant the others ones like themn but skinnier and shorter

http://www.batteriesplus.com/store_locator/state/TX.aspx i believe they carry the batteries you are looking for not 100% positive but if the store is close enough it might be worth checking out

thanks warzone i have checked their website and havent found anything that works.


thanks for the try though unles the actual location will have it.

might be worth a try

I saw a 14500 at RadioShack, but I'm not sure if they also sell the AAA size. :-/

 

[thesk8nmidget]

I believe that they are all unprotected. There doesn't seem to be enough room in a 10440 for the protection circuit.

Yesterday I was in a bit of a rush to get up from the computer, so forgot to tell you how I found that store:
I did a Google search for the words "battery" and "Houston". Then I just looked at the sites that didn't sound like they were automotive battery stores.
I stopped looking when I found Lighthound, but there probably are more, as there were thousands of Google hits.
