I just ordered 5 batteries of same size and spec from: http://www.atlantalightbulbs.com/ecart/nw012104/YUNTONGYT-660(6V6AH.20HR.htm $9.34 per plus shipping.
I found another compatable but it was only a 5 Amp/hr battery. The above link is a direct replacement for the SEL DMU 6-6 6V6AH battery that came with the dual spotlight.
Regarding replacement source for Vector Spot battery "SELDMU 6-6": As of my original need in Late Oct. 2010, FriendlyFred's andjoboo1's advice were obsolete. Atlanta Lightbulbs' YUNTONG PS660 (6V,6AH) is now replacedby the more expensive YUNTONG PS640 (6V4.5 AMP HOUR), an inferior product to the original. Ace Hardware was "OUT OF STOCK". So, I found an excellent functional equivalent: the Tempest TR6-6at BatterySpec @ http://www.batteryspec.com/cgi-bin/cart.cgi?action=link&product=313. (I suggest avoiding their TR6-6A for Vectors Spotlights: it's a littlebigger, and may not fit. Also, BatterySpec suggests the Tempest 5-6A as anequivalent for the original "SEL DMU 6-6"; that's only equivalent if5ah=6ah. Caveat Emptor) You can see the actual specs on this product at (themanufacturer) Tempest's web site: http://www.tempestbatteries.com/html/tr6-6.html. This seems to be a virtually identical battery as Vector's original "SEL DMU 6-6" in every way but one. Vector's battery had one F1 (.187" wide) terminal, and one F2 (.250" wide) terminal. On the BatterySpec's Tempest, both terminalsare F1. This was no problem: the Vectorlamp's leads snap snug and secure over both terminals. I paid $10.90, plus $10.13 shipping, ordered on Saturdaymorning 10/23, got a shipping confirmation from their San Jose CA warehouseMonday evening 10/25, and received it in Virginia on Monday morning11/1/2010.

Try the YUSA NP 4.5-6. It is well under $10 and widely available since it is a reputable and well established Japanese battery manufacturer. The noted battery is a 6 volt rated at 4.5 Ampere hours in a compact size that will fit many hand held spotlights.
