Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

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...
