Exterminate!

The battery on my teeny Dalek http://www.firebox.com/product/1718 is dying. Anyone know where I can get "L G3 Cell batteries" . Nothing at CVS was named or looked anything like it.

I'd try Radio Shack. If that fails there is a store called Batteries Plus in Woburn on Rt3 that sounds promising (I've never been inside though). You could save yourself a trip or two and call first.

Most definitely Radio Shack!

looking online a bit, it seems like the G3 L is probably the UK name for the battery. in the US it will probably be something else.

radio shack should have a book at the desk that they can find the american model with. i hadn't thought of that at first, but he's an import, so you probably won't find the exact same thing here.

Radio Shack will probably have it.

Batteries are actually pretty standard across the board. Radio Shack should have it, or be able to get it though.

the batteries are standard, but the naming isn't. i had that issue getting batteries for my gundam wing model. the battery type listed in the manual had a different number in the US.

I don't think that's a country related thing though. I think that's more a company related thing. When I had my first camcorder the battery for it was Canon, the replacement batter I bought was Hitachi, both japanese manufacturers but with different battery IDs. That's not really important though, the way you posted it it seemed like you thought there'd be a difference. Then again I've been reading all kinds of things wrong today with this fantastic migraine I am trying to lose...

well, that's why i said it was the UK *name* and that in the US it will probably be different.

trust me, i've been through this dance before with the little button cell batteries :)

There's a Batteries Plus in Marlborough on Rt 20 (across from Home Depot) as well.

what everybody else said, and, bring the battery with you to make sure it's the same.

Sounds like a hearing aid battery...
