Think I'll watch for a cheap "basket-case" on eBay and have it shipped to you since I don't know how to do pictures for uploading to the forum. Would that be okay? I suppose if my dies soon I'll take it apart and go from there w/how to get info to you.
thanks for input.

We can't be sure of any replacement until the voltage on the connector pins and their positioning on a PE are known. Get those wrong and it is usually blue smoke time.
Several people have had their PEs apart, some have taken photos but in no case has anyone given any information on the connector. There are several batteries that almost fit the physical overall dimensions and capacity - we have some of them here, the only problem is that the connectors are different. The different connectors are the manufacturers way of making you buy their replacement battery and not a cheap generic replacement.
It's not strange that no one has had to replace a battery yet. With normal usage this type of battery should have a minimum life expectancy of at least 5 years.
If you have cause to take your PE apart and you know how to use a volt meter and a ruler then a sketch giving the placement and voltage of the connector pins and its physical size and placement would allow my parts guy to come up with a replacement that would work.
I would ask anyone reading this that might have cause to open a PE - get me the above information and I might be able to say what the replacement could be.
Without that information I'm not prepared to give any advice because if it is wrong someone will try the law route - something I've been able to steer clear of because of the way we work.
