The battery is a rechargable 3.6V nickel-cadmium cell.

Replace it with a battery of this type :

Subject: [Simmons Drums] Resurrect that SDS7


Ok, so I've plugged in that SDS7 I had since 1986, and it powers on etc but no sound comes
out. I pulled all the modules and the card with the battery and it looks like this:

Looks like some corrosion on the battery. So- Simmons made the battery permanent?
What is it?

Thanks!
