$150 a battery? I've been sitting on 4 cases of these for years and can not get rid of them. So, if anyone wants a deal I'll be glad to clean out my garage. Note: These are the later batteries. Apparantly the first scope used 6v batteries but these are the ones used on all subsequent models, the 20000 volt models. I got pics if you need to see them. Sorry to go on about these, but I am getting ready to ebay them and would rather one of you guys have them. P.S. - I offered these to the guy selling them for $149.50 and he did not even return an offer.
