Fairlight-CMI

David is right, it usually is a lithium battery with long lifespan, not a
rechargeable niCd. one could replace it with a new one, yes. Or attach a
cable to the battery soldering points and put a battery compartment with
regular AA batteries elsewhere in the system where leakage is not such an
issue should it occur.
