John,
That's a great idea only there are no Batteries Plus in my area. I did take
it to a locally owned battery place in town with high hopes but they had
never dealt with anything like that before and declined to do so. So I'm
left with a sighted friend who can usually figure things out but who has
never dealt with one of these either. Lou
