Hi Alex:
Yes, I'm recommending Ni-Cad but NOT any acid type.

Hi Brooke,
sorry I have to disappoint you; Ni-Cd batteries do not use any acid, they have K-OH kalium hidrioxid [potassium
hydroxide for anglophone ] as electrolyte and they are normally very air-tide, and widely used in radios.

Hi Jeremy:
It's a very bad idea to put any battery with acid in an enclosure that has electronics since if it vents the acid
will etch the PCBs.
Guess how I learned this. I got a great price on a Gibbs Frequency Standard
because the oven no longer worked.

Modern Ni-Cad batteries have much more capacity than older ones and no longer have a memory effect. They are also
very easy to charge, so why not just replace the old cells?
