I had another question. I think I'm eventually going to have to replace the original built-in nickel-cadmium battery. (I don't know how in the world It's still able to hold a charge considering it's over 30 years old! But it does!) It looks in mostly good condition, with just a little bit of corrosion on one end. What would be the most appropriate modern replacement? I'm assuming that Ni-Mh would be safer and more reliable. Is there a particular kind you'd recommend?
