Do you still have the old battery pack? If so, it's _very_ easy to
rebuild it. Just peel off the paper label and unclip the metal
clip/holder from the cells. Recover the little plastic part.

Replace the cells with size AA NICds. The polarity, IIRC, is marked on
the metal clip. You want to get cells with a flat +ve terminal -- normal
cells are too long to fit in the calculator. 'Tagged' cells with the tags
pulled off generally fit perfectly.
