Hi, Keith -

The Varta batteries for the RA6790/GM are available at www.mouser.com
Mouser part number 672-55615702
Price $6.10

This is a Nickel Metal Hydride cell.
I don't know if it will have less of a leak risk
than the original Ni-Cad used by Racal.

Hi Ed,

I cannot recommend this at all!

NiMH cells don't like being trickle charged. If you want to
charge them at a "trickle" charge rate you need to use a smart
charger that will cut off the current after they have reached
full charge.
