Where to order SI batteries from??

[fazzybear]

Im after some new SI batteries (Sanyo laser lithium) for my cluster but all seem to be in the states and postage is criminal?

I also need two bulbs for the obc (3mm 5v 1.9 lumens)?

CPC-Farnell have all you need, and no longer have the punitive carriage charge on orders under £40.

SC 00338 is a pack of five bulbs. (I use SC 00377, which is 5V 0.63 lumens.)
Battery is BT 01077, which has wire leads.
BT 00121 is the same battery with tagged ends, but I don't know if these will fit the circuit board without modification.

Yea the bulbs are on there but im not too sure bout getting the batteries to fit, need a definate really

That's why I use the ones with wire ends - you can bend those to fit!

BT 04108, BT 00172, or BT 02216 are the ones for those of you with rechargeable 1.2V batteries on your SI boards, and I think BT 03144 are the ones for the torch.
The rechargeable batteries all have tags on the end for connecting wires and won't fit the board directly. With wires attached, they are a tight fit, and you must make sure that they don't short their ends against neighbouring components. There used to be a battery listed that was only 2/3 the length of a standard AA battery, and these were ideal to get some extra space, but sadly it's no longer there.

Ive got the Sanyo laser lithium 12450SE in my 325i SE 91' so which ones do in need?

[Brianmoooore]

Battery is BT 01077, which has wire leads.

Sanyo and laser are just brand names.
