I need a couple of Bad T30 batteries. Anyone have one laying around?

Thanks

Use a hacksaw to cut out the (empty) corner that's extra in a T23 batt compared to a T30 batt.
I have 5 or 6 bad (red) T2x batteries.
I could send them to you for shipping cost ($10.95 + PayPal fee) in a medium flat rate box.
PM me if interested.

You could make it fit that way. I've noticed how similar the T20 and T30 battery are, even to the R40. One quick question- is it very safe to do that? It could fit, but would it actually work, and charge normally, do you think? Just wondering if I could use a T20 battery in a pinch for my T30 since I have a bunch of those.

I've been using T30 batteries in my T23s for over a year now. They work perfectly and haven't had any problems.
