Re: 211 Replacement Batteries
It was pretty stupid of me to forget the link.

This is the email I wrote years ago: Note: the link is broken across 3 lines. It is very hard to find this battery pack on this site so use the link. Dennis Tillman W7pF

Here is a link: http://www.bulbtronics.com/Search-The-Warehouse/ SearchResults.aspx?stype=Aut oLampEq&mfg=TEKTRONIX&mod=OSCILLOSCOPE%20212 It's tough getting there. It's under Medical and Scientific batteries. The company that makes them is called BulbTronics. They are the ones that supplied me with the batteries for my 214 scope. The battery packs they made up were a perfect fit, very professionally made, and dirt cheap. The scope ran for over 5½ hours on them which was almost twice the Tek specification. Best thing to do is go to their web site and fill out an email request. This is the way you have to request that they make up a pack for you. It's more than a little strange but it is worth it. You will appreciate that when the batteries arrive.

ALSO, beware that the power supply sections of some of the "2XX" models that use these batteries will not regulate unless a good battery is installed, and will send excessive voltages to the rest of the circuitry.
