Anyone know which 6 pin (molex?) plug this is... like specific link to Amazon or other source?
I just tore down my Q Turbo 2+2 packs... because the NiMh's were dead dead dead... and would not charge.
I was quoted $140 for new pack... screw that... asked about NiCad... they said $38!! DONE!!
Got home... tested the new "14.4V" pack.... @ 14.6v. Tested the DEAD WON'T TAKE A CHARGE NiMh pack... 16.2V
BASTARDS.... it DID come back. So I have a spare pack... but not the connector. So there we are...
OR... anyone have a junk pack they can send me the ribbon and plug from?!!!
Thanks! -Steve

I think the Quantum turbo uses NiMH cells.

Original Quantum Turbo uses 8.2V lead acid chemistry cell.
The next gen, Quantum 2x2, uses a series of 1.2V NiMH cells sized similar to C size.

My old quantum has 8.2V lead acid cell in it. I replaced it with 3 3.2V LiFePO4 cells and it works great.
