Re: Battery Power
most batteries work, Radioshack batteries (that are 7.2v) I think fit this connection. We use them, just check the connector on the batteries before buying them.

Re: Battery Power
Standard R/C battery packs, for both 7.2 volts ('bot) and 9.6 volts (transmitterr) have the correct connections and fit just fine. Good advice from "gdo" though, and bring the controller and transmitter with you to be 100% certain.

Re: Battery Power
We bought some RC batteries and they work fine, but the leads are not as long as the ones on the Vex Batteries. You can also buy a connector repair kit at RS if the connectors are incorrect.
