Option #3 > Replace the Subpack with New Alternative:
Due to the issues of timely acquiring reasonably priced junk yard candidates and costs of testing and sorting the used batteries Ron then sourced his 'BetterBattery" as a new battery alternative ... as a drop in replacement ... It is not the same battery as used in the OEM ... but Ron has tested it , and he at least claims it is just as good or better than the OEM.
Ian,

There are so few sticks available anymore that HB (me) no longer sells them. They're all needed for repair jobs.

Also, BetterBattery sticks have different charge/discharge profiles than the standard sticks so they cannot be mixed in the same pack with standard sticks - it's all or nothing.
