LiPo batteries

[Mike]

Folks,

I've been given a Blimpduino and I'm currently trying to make it work.
Need to get a LiPo battery and that is proving challenging. Needs to be
7.4V, >=460mAh, 52x30x8 and around 28.5g. There is a little give on the
weight and length. I've found a few in the UK but they are all sold out
and have no idea when they're next getting stock. Does anyone know
anywhere that is likely to stock what I'm after?

BOfH.

(If you just want to borrow one I have a pair of 7.4V 1200mAh
batteries which I believe meet those criteria)

Do you have a source for helium?

Thanks. I have orded an 800mAh that is roughtly the right size. I've
already sourced some Helium from Amazon, if that turns out to be a bit
naff, I can get some decent stuff from BOC.
