Tom,
Goto HobbyKing Battery finder, punch in the dimension you need and see if they have them.

Obviously you need 2S and I would say 10C-20C minumum if you running the tank with it.

Many of the thin ones are designed for Airsoft rifles/pistols.

You'll also find the 2S made for nitro and petrol RC cars are very small

Ian, I loved that feature on the HobbyKing website. It is almost like custom size batteries. The only thing is that then you have to shell out for the right adapter (depends on what your tanks are standardized on as they all seem to come in different ones).
I am sure you might have come across this on the HobbyKing site. If you stay on a specific product page for a certain amount of time, it will prompt you to purchase the item with a small discount. So whatever you are looking up, stay at the same page for a while and you might get a dialogue box give you a "Buy it now !" discount. The good thing is that you can then just add it to your cart and you can come back to it with the discount price when you are ready to buy.

Thinnest I use is one called a dual leaf..even if you stack them they don't require much space

Where were you located again Tao...that battery pictured is from an airsoft shop in the US...so if you are outside the US I'm not sure if it will be of value to you...If you are in the UK definitely not...Asia you might find a place with better prices
