[NTLK] Battery options for MP2100

[Elias Basse]

I am new to the group,

I just won an auction for a gently used MP2100.  

It does not have a battery to my knowledge, can anyone recommend a good place to obtain either a battery that I can rebuild (I am an electronics tech so it is easy for me to rebuild them) or a rebuilt one that won’t break the bank?  

I find it odd that the battery packs rebuilt cost more than some units are selling for. I obtained the MP2100 for 40USD.  Batteries are selling for 75USD rebuilt with 25USD shipping which is outside of my budget currently.

Many Thanks!
Elias
