BMW Motorrad communication System - Battery pack replacement ?

[Flipper_Man]

Afternoon....

Has anyone found a replacement battery pack for the BMW Motorrad communication system version 2 ? Its as below picture, FDK100032 Ni-Mh 1900mAh 3,6v.

I'm told the v2 is no longer available from BMW !?

Alternatively....is the v3 battery the same version does anyone know ?

Thanks in advance - quick search has not thrown anything up in the UK unfortunately.....

Oh BMW you are a bunch of c*nts at times...... v2 and v3 battery packs for BMW Motorrad Communication system show in pic...

Soldering iron out then...unless anyone knows if there's a little convertor plug for these two suckers ?

Soldered and charging fine...

Has anyone cut the shrink wrap off of one of these packs to see what batteries were underneath?

Might be easier/cheaper to replace the batteries.

This. From the capacity and size, they look as though they might be bog standard AA NiMH cells.

They are and I did consider that route but I have no way of shrink wrapping the batteries back together, so dismissed it.

Duct tape?
Large diameter heat shrink is available e.g. 3"
