Anyone have an extra Nikon MS-13?

I would like to have one for my F100 so I can use it without the MB-15 motor drive and shed some weight. Or can someone direct me to where I can find one for sale. TIA. I've tried the usual suspects.

Tony,

Do you have to have the Lithium holder?
Would the AA holder work for you (you can use Lithium rechargeable AA with it, I presume)?

If so, here's a guy selling one (MS-12) I don't know how far this guy is from where you are, but maybe he'll ship it to you:

Hi Will, thanks so much but i already have the MS-12 and it is useable but the problem is the camera will go through the batteries in one or 2 days! That's why I got the motor drive. If it weren't for the heft i'd use it all the time. This is a fabulous camera.

Tony,

One or 2 days even when using lithium AA batteries?
Or NiMH rechargeable AA batteries like the Sanyo Eneloop, they are far better than those Alkalines.

Will,
Alkalines were 2 days, Lithium AA about a week- but not more.
Maybe I should try them again, the MN-15 battery goes about a month or so.
