It doesn't actually matter about the type very much.  About the only
time it does matter is if you've got a NiCad battery, which kind of
needs to be replaced with another NiCad or a suitable NiMH - my
Polysix has a NiMH that's a drop-in replacement.

My SDS7 had a lithium battery, which has now been replaced with two
alkaline AA batteries in series.  I did the same thing with my Ensoniq
ESQ-1, and also with a couple of Sun workstations that had flat clock
batteries.  Oh, and some Mac PRAM batteries...
