Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Thanks Narfman, I'll look for NiMh then.
 
I think it will work, but I have to find a way to step-down from 9 volts to
6 volts, that's the fault in my plan. I called my local electronics shop and
they said there are some ways to do that, but it kinda depended on some
factors. I'm too bad at electronics to figure out those ways by myself, but
said they'd help me out if I'd drop by after the weekend. 
 
Brian.

Scott and Brian,
Do yourself a favor and don't install NiCad's anywhere near the 
circuit boards, they leak. The newer NiMh batteries are a much better 
choice. They don't have memory and they will take a lot of abuse 
before they leak. It should be okay to charge them so if you use the 
synth for a few hours it would hold the charge for up to several 
months. If you are only powering the memory maybe even years...
