You've actually made me think of a caveat to my 3400 source.  The original PRAM battery has a three-pronged connector, but the replacement suggestion has a 2-pronged connector.  (I pulled the wires out and stuck them in my original three-pronged connector - but it's important to keep that one, or to have a three-pronged connector.)

You think these'll work? http://www.all-battery.com/molexconnector80075.aspx

The others might [the ones for the RC], but I think they'll be too wide.  At this point it looks like virtually all the connectors come separate and in 2 or sometimes 4 but not really 3 pins.

But I think this is the cheapest cohesive cable.  http://www.impactcomputers.com/922-2693.html?sort=p.price&order=DESC&page=1151&manufacturer_id=11 For me, that would cost $20...

* I was also thinking about trying a lithium replacement.  The 7.2v all have crazy high amp-hour ratings.  Is it even possible to find something in the 60-80 mAh range?
