3 cells needs mod. Unless someone else has found new ones.
I replaced those 3 battery post bottom screws with a longer ones, then found some computer motherboard spacer (legs) and put them to make the battery post a bit taller. (please see pics).
The maxamps 3 cells 2000mah, or 1100mah fits perfectly.

(I don't care what other people said, yes they are over price, but these deliver current like nothing else I tried)
Apogee packs are great too.

(These are good too, but sometimes they have quality control issue. I had 2 out of 7 puffed and I had to spend them back. Other than that, these are pretty good price also.)
Just added, almost forgot this one fits too, but I'm too lazy to take anymore picture. Here is the link:

(I got it from a LHS)
Be carefuly thou, I remember my MMB problems started the moment I sticked the 3 cells in. The MLST series handles 3 cells well, just doesn't last long before gears pieces flying everywhere inside the gear box.
Good luck.
