I need a new battery pack for my Metz Mecablitz 402 flash unit. Does anyone know of a source or is there any type of conversion for these?

I found the following in a dutch forum:
http://www.fotoapparatuur.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=5066
I speak german as a first language and as I understand it the original Akku was a "Sonnenschein A206 dryfit". The forum also mentions the "Sonnenschein A506" which has the same voltage I think but a higher capacity.
A possible replacement:

http://www.apexbattery.com/sonnenschein-a506-3-5s-battery-emergency-lighting-bat teries-sonnenschein-emergency-lighting-batterie.html

Please mind: That all was found googeling - no personal experience so please check again and again and again. Maybe you could try to contact one of the posters in the dutch forum.

My 45CT came with an adapter that lets one use AA batteries. Is there not an adapter for yours?
