Hi all, Anyone know where I can get a cheap 22.5 volt battery for a Regency TR1. John C.

Well they are still available across the pond as the Energizer 412 :-

Don't know about UK availability though.

You can also get one here, this time a BLR122 ...... http://www.cellpacksolutions.com/ite...ameraBatteries A bit expensive though. I once considered two of these in series to run the HT in my little Emerson hybrid but that's irrelevant here.

I have in front of me right now an 'original' British made Ever Ready B122 and I'm assuming the dimensions match those of the modern versions as near as dammit.

Try this outfit:

They seem to have a wide range of odd batteries.

Cheers,

Thank you gents Plenty of choice think i'll go for an alkaline one, a bit expensive but should last longer than the cheaper ones. John C.
