why do you need a battery sled? im pretty sure the D8 works fine without a sled with a 6V input, a wallwart would be your best bet for stationary use

Post by: jerryfreak on December 16, 2020, 06:54:22 AM: hes talking about an external D-cell

your best bet to find the internal sled is to look for a broken D7 or D8 on ebay for parts (the ones i see on there now dont even include sleds). But again, for home use theres no reason to have it.
