I recently ordered these for my Sten from www.batteryjunction.com: http://www.batteryjunction.com/tenergy-18650-2200-pk.html
All I had to do was put the correct end on the two wires, epoxy the circuit board to make it waterproof, shrink wrap the batteries (more than they supplied), charge and go. I used it at Convention for a 5 hour trip there, as well as another 12 hour trip later - still running fine. Time will tell how they hold up.

Note that these are 3.7 volts - twice the usual AA battery voltage. They are also very expensive.
