RE: Battery pack for Schaffner NSG 435 ESD simulator
Use of another battery pack sounds simple enough, however it may not be. NiCad's can dump a lot of current and are a energy and fire hazard. You should make sure the replacement pack was enclosed in a fire enclosure and had the proper fuse/thermal protection in it. An off brand may not have the proper protection in them. You could build your own, but soldering to the cells hurts their performance and causes a miss match of the cells, which intern will hurt the life of the battery pack. If the cells are not matched, the cells can reverse charge other cells towards the end of each cycle. To get max performance you want to make sure the cells are from the same batch.

RE: Battery pack for Schaffner NSG 435 ESD simulator
Nafti I had the same issue within the last few weeks - and got a battery pack made by a Cell Pack Solutions http://www.cellpacksolutions.com in the UK. They only charged (no pun intended) about a quarter of the price Schaffner wanted, but they did have some difficulty getting the cells which are half AA size. They may do international sales.

RE: Battery pack for Schaffner NSG 435 ESD simulator
Hi, it's easy to dismantle the pack and replace the cells, they are of standard size. Some soldering is needed.
