Try Radio Shack.

Its size is about like a AA battery that's been cut in half. A lot like an N-cell, now that I think about it. That plus what you already know is probably enough, but if it was me I'd bring it along with me to the store.

It is 1/2 AA 3.6v Lithium Ion battery which is sold at Radio Shack for $10.99. It is made by a company called Tadiron and it is purple and white. I hope that helps.

The 7200 takes a small lithium battery you can get at Radio Shack, Radio shack part number 23-026. It's a Tadiran 3.6 v lithium 1/2 AA cell.
Actually the one at Radio Shack has a bit more capacity, but it's the same form factor, series, and voltage.
