It may be cheaper to go to Batteries Plus and have your pack rebuilt though.

I second the Batteries Plus! Tell Batteries Plus to rebuild your
battery pack with the largest-capacity Nickel Metal Hydride batteries
that will fit the pack. This will eliminate the old Ni-Cd memory
problems, crappy OEM battery packs made of the cheapest batteries they
can get and you'll be simply amazed at how long these new technology
batteries will run the radio.
I've had Batteries Plus rebuild some packs this way for portable
drills. They take twice as long to charge in the crappy drill
charger, but will make a LOT of holes on a charge and you don't have
to worry about running them dry before recharging to keep Ni-Cds from
going bad. Ni-Metal Hydrides don't care if you run them all the way
down.
AA Ni Metal Hydrides are up to 2100 maH capacity, now. Amazing power
from such a little cell.
