HP 9114B Battery Message #1 Posted by jeff on 10 May 1999, 8:11 p.m. Where can I find one of these Batteries? Panasonic Lead-Acid Battery LCR-226P. I believe that the HP number is HP88014A. Panasonic does not offer this exact battery on thier Web Site. Any ideas?

The drive will *not* run or pass the self test on the charger alone, without a good battery. The best (only) replacement I have found so far is from Batteries Plus (www.batteriesplus.com). Their Hawker Sealed-Lead Cell 0810-0102 works for a replacement. Note: this is just the battery replacement, not the whole battery pack. You have to open up the old battery pack, (you need a #T9 torx screwdriver), and replace the battery inside. It's just a teeny bit thicker and the plastic case bulges slightly with this battery but it still works. You have to solder an extension on the negative lead to reach the terminal. It cost me $26 at one of their local retail outlets. Check their web site for locations. This battery is listed on their web page http://www.batteriesplus.com/prod/hawker.html but the picture on the top is wrong. No dimensions are given but it's almost a perfect replacement except for it's about 1/16 inch thicker.

Digi-Key for less than $20. I was told they have lots of them. It is an exact physical replacement for the battery in the 9114B except I think I had to do something with the terminals. The details are a little fuzzy by now, a did this a while ago.

Re: HP 9114B Battery Message #5 Posted by Dan Grelinger on 11 May 1999, 6:34 p.m., in response to message #4 by Walt Devaney Their web site indicates that they have 4214 of these batteries in stock. They quote volume discounts on up to 120 units. They do charge $5.00 extra for orders under $25, so if only getting one, add that to the price ($16.36 + $5.00 = 21.36) plus shipping, and tax if you live in Minnesota.
