    Thanks for all the input on the battery. I did find another possible site that would offer it for a decent price. I was wondering if someone could verify that this would work for me.

    Does this fit any/all Z96 models, since I have a Z96J?

    **Also, does it matter if I get a Z or S 96 battery to replace my Z96J. From pictures it looks like the base is all the same.

    I don't know about the battery (from the website it appears to be appropriate), but just a bit of info on buying an old battery.

    I'm not sure how old the model is, but if that battery has been on the shelf for e.g., 2 years, it's likely to be degraded (batteries have a shelf life, they degrade when not in use, albeit slower).

    Just a word of caution. :)

    Thanks E.B.E. for the word of caution. My current battery only allows for 5 minutes of battery time. Anything would seem better at this point.
