I've had a think and a look around since I saw it.

Nicads are a no-no nowadays, so you'd get pushed into NiMH and those have a diabolical self-discharge rate.

Lithium rechargeables need a different and more sophisitcated charging arrangement so it's not going to be easy to replace.

However, I think some modellers still get Nicads, so this may be a direction to pursue.
