What size battery do you use for the RIP and where do you find them to buy?

I pulled mine, 7.4v 830ma, IIRC correctly. I found a similar RC battery, 800ma 7.4v, and bought it. But it is too thick for the casing. Unfortunately, I accidentally dropped the RIP while the front casing was off. This caused one of the linear power tabs connected to the lcd to start separating. So, if I can get it to work again, the upper right quadrant’s upper quadrant is ruined. Up until now, ended up using the RIP by taping an external battery to ($10 Walmart rechargable pack) and power the RIP with a micro usb cable. The only remaining issue, is how to repair the lcd’s damaged connector to allow it to work again. And, also, whether I can download the data to my PC using a full duplex usb communications/power cable.
