    I am not sure these are available anymore. Company in Germany, I believe, and it looks like they are not shipping. Not much info on the web other than distaste for the idea of a tuning system by Gibson owners. Anyone know where to source these? If not, I may just have to make one.

    Well, I guess no one has had to replace a first generation Gibson robotic battery here.

    It appears that this battery is no longer available. So I did what any repair person with a soldering iron and a drawer full of shrink tubing would do. I made one, and I reused part of the original wrapping to make it look legit. The yellow cells are the original ones. The green cells are 1.2 NiMH flat top rechargeable batteries with tabs that I purchased on Amazon.

      Nice job! Gibson’s biggest marketing failure ever lives on! Haha
