I spoke with a Madcatz employee a few days ago and I was told that they're considering producing and selling rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for the R.AT. 9 based on requests from the buyers of this product. Well they damn should...

you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing. Just go slow and dont force anything. you need the old casing!!!!after opening clean off ledges on casing. the batteries have a part number on them. go on line and buy a couple. under $3 apiece. use solding iron to remove and install new one/ones. note how they are wired up and install same way,,, put back together and use just a dab of crazy glue. peace you can fix the battery yourself. if you have about 10 mins and a soldering iron. 1.use a small razor knife, work around battery casing cutting through the glue. corners are the hardest part. dont cut all the way through. be careful not to cut your pinkie and use care when trying to open casing.

Anyone have ANY luck at all getting spare batteries? I'm ready to buy a new one - just to swap the batteries out and then return it with my old batteries... Seems like alot of effort to go through, since these idiots don't reply to my e-mails. But I love the mouse, so buyer beware, you're on your own.UPDATE: on 11/22/2011 - I FINALLY received an e-mail from Saitek (took 6-weeks!). They do NOT offer spare batteries, and have no suggestion for me what to do with a mouse that has batteries that doesn't hold a charge. wow..

My batteries are lasting about 2 hours a piece, so I looked into replacing the guts.(it has two tiny rectangular 3.7V Lithium packs taped together inside, the battery case is easy to open with only your fingernails)The markings on the Rat9 batteries were: "ZT-061148 1S2P 3.7V 440MAH 101120"The closest Google match for this was:http://www.d2-technology.com/product.php?m_id=6(2) D2-LP-061148 - 3.7 Voltage(V) - 230 Typical (mAh) - 220 Nominal (mAh) - 6.0 x 11.0 x 48.0 mm - 4.0 g

I smell a class action lawsuit building up here... anyone. Spend 150 bucks on a mouse with no support whatsoever from the manufacturer...

No found web page (http://cyborggaming.com ) for download driver, as I can find this sofware for the Cyborg Mouse RAT 3?

I am actually not really quite sure, most electronics that have rechargeable batteries you can buy batteries for. You will just need to search around your area, search the web or ask around your local area that specialize in electronics. I am pretty sure you can, you just have to make sure the battery matches the model number of the electronic that you have, and want an extra battery for. I hope this helps you.

We still have not had to replace batteries yet. My wife played with just 4 cubes until we got a replacement for the cube that came out of the box with a dead battery. We got a replacement for the dead battery around 1 Jan, and she has been playing with all 5 cubes since. We are still using the original batteries, but I have no clue how many actual hours of playing time.Has anybody tried the inexpensive batteries that are available on Amazon yet? (See 4 Jan post above.)ww

I am in the same boat here. I just want to get the 5800mah battery regardless of color because they all look beautiful. Can anyone advise how I can get this battery if I make the purchase? Thanks.

I don't think you can purchase a battery. The reason being that people were installing the battery incorrectly so they do not sell replacement batteries. Any way that's what I read when I needed to replace the battery on my DirtTamer.

My battery exploded 3 months after I got it. I tried multiple emails & phone calls to no avail. The company must be out of business.Ugh! No idea where you can get a new battery.

I'm sorry as I am not sure where to get one. I don't have the player anymore. How about eBay? I have been able to find other batteries there.

If they were missing from the model you can wright Revell and request replacements, but you need to send the model number,and any other info from the kit. They will send you replacements. I got some rat lines that way when they were missing from my model. Hope this helps. Kenny

No! I have 3 ScumBusters that I LOVE but all 3 quit working at about the same time. AFter a LOT of research (someone said the replacement battery would fit) I took one of the SBs to a major battery store. They could not replace with any sort of battery. I spoke to B&D;, fussed and fumed. No help. B&D; is nuts. The price for a new SB is out of sight because they are no longer being manufactured. I am so disappointed...

I could not find replacement batteries. Mine has not been working for a year. I gave up looking. If you find some I would love to know.

Hi T.N. - Not sure about battery replacement. I've had my unit for about a year now with no issues. I searched the web and did not find a replacement battery available. Could it be that you have a faulty charger? Try calling the customer care phone number - 1-866-738-4379

Yes you can buy more batteries. They are available at several sites online and also at hobby stores.

just bought a ZS1 and wanted a second battery, no one had them in stock. Bummer. Just got a note from Vanns that they have them in stock again for $49.99 with free shipping.

Don't assume you can get a new battery. I have had my radio for quite some time and put it away for emergency use. I recently found the battery a little corroded and won't hold a charge. Now, I can not find a replacement battery. I even went to a specialty shop with no help given. Anyone actually "know" where a replacement battery can be found?

Hi Cara, you can buy the replacement batteries from our official website. Because this is quite a new model and the batteries are very durable, no customer is asking for it till now. However, we will post it on our online webstore next week.

You can purchase batteries here on Amazon or the following locations: Radio Shack, Best Buy, Batteries +, or any battery supply house.I would suggest that you do a Google search for the size / type of battery you need followed by your zip code. This will give you local options as well as internet suppliers.Enjoy - Mark
