You're the winner! Thanks. Keystone has always had odd, but useful niche products. They came through lots of times, when no one else came close. They also have the best 9 volt battery connectors I've ever used. I used to repair VHF walkie talkies and used their part number 83 for the replacement battery packs I built, and the OEM packs that were built with the five cent chinese parts. <http://www.keyelco.com/products/specs/spec54.asp> (In the third column) they are available with different length leads. I used the six inch and ran the extra wire between the two columns of cells. That brought the wires out the other end, for good strain relief. I used old business cards over each end before shrinking the thin white heat shrink. I also wrote the date & customer's name with an ultra fine line sharpie before applying the heat. That melted the information into the heatshrink so it couldn't rub off, or be removed. It stopped them from trying to claim a new battery was bad. I no longer had to cut the heat shrink off to show the date codes. :) -- http://improve-usenet.org/index.html aioe.org, Goggle Groups, and Web TV users must request to be white listed, or I will not see your messages.

And they have square ones too. -- Reply in group, but if emailing add one more zero, and remove the last word.
