Rayovac 844s, widely available in computer stores, will work. They come with the right plug, and a piece of velcro. They're twice as long and more powerful! Rayovac stopped making these a few years ago, but [EMAIL PROTECTED] has a few cases of the 844b new old stock that still measure very close to 4.5v. Same cable and connector, plus new velcro mounting so you can stick it any place. $5 each, 3/$10 plus shipping which is $2/1, $4/3. Email him to confirm, with your full shipping address.
