The old one is between 7.2 & 9Ah. Standard size. High rate batteries as you'd get in a tool are generally ~7.2Ah.

^^ Hmm, mis-labelled 12AH?

Bought through a reputable company that gave AULRO members a discount via a forum member who worked for them.

I had a win yesterday! I went to the Sydney Super Swap Meet yesterday - good if you wanted old Holden or Ford parts. On my way out I saw a table with this on it:

The current (no pun intended) one lists at >$300 not including battery! When the seller said $10, I thought “yair, why not.”

Gawd, on ARK’s website, the latest PowerPack 3 is $667.01! Note the 1 cent.

At the price you paid it was well worth the punt.
