[sdiy] Type of Lithium battery to place in old synths

[Gil W.]

when I come across a vintage synthesizer which has a
NiCD battery inside, I usually convert the circuit so
no recharging occurs anymore, and place a CR2032
holder, with a battery dropped in of course.

What bothers me is the high maintenance associated
with using CR2032 batteries. AFAIK, these will only
run for about 5 years or so. In that case you either
need to replace them every few years, doing the entire
tedious cassette preset dumps, or just use a larger
battery.

So which type of lithium batteries would you use for
max. life ?
