I got a bunch of 6V rechargeable packs: want two?

I found a bunch of 6v rechargeable NICd packs this afternoon.

Since the price was so good I figured a few forum users would appreciate the deal,
so I bought them all. Don't prove me wrong, wife is watching.. [noparse]:)[/noparse]

I have around 20+ (I think, will confirm later) and each person will need two to do what
I'm doing with them. (Pictured below)

Pack 1: leave it unchanged: Charger and single battery pack.
Pack 2: modified to picture below.

End result.. Two batteries, a charger, and an interface for your portable Propeller, etc.
The modification took me 20 mins and a connector from Radio Shack.

How's $5.00 for two three units plus shipping sound? (USA only please..)

I'll post more pictures of the modification process for everyone and do a firm count later.

    The battery itself says "600 milliamp hours"

    I'm also working on a deal for some Tyco 7.2v NiCd kits.

    Ok.. Since the demand is low.. we'll make it three for $5.00 +shipping (US)

    Those who are interested, PM me and I'll make arrangements with each to accept by Paypal.
    If you don't mind, I'd like to make it easy and use a flat-rate box for shipping. (Around $5.00)
    I might have to sacrifice the packaging to get them into the box, any issue here?

    If everyone gets their ducks in a row over Sunday/Monday, I'll ship them out Tuesday.

    I'll check shipping for sure in the morning. (test the boxes.) [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    Hang in there gang!

    I'm running a little behind on this as my car has been in the shop getting an engine,
    and the loaner I've been driving just "slipped time" and I'm juggling transportation
    for a couple more days till mine in returned.

    Three of you have PM'd me and I have your stuff set aside.
