Hi Zach,
O.K. here is some more info on the scanner:
Uniden Bearcat 100 Channel Scanning Radio
Model, BC 100 XLT
NI-CAD battery BP 205
600 MA H 7 volts
Perhaps if you were to call some place or the like Batteries Plus, they
might have such a battery.
Also, you should know that the ac charger plugs into the battery pack.
If you have any more questions, just ask!
Best 73.
