    It doesn't _have_ to be a lithium battery.  They are not
    rechargeable and the only reason they are used is becuase they store
    a lot of charge in a smallish space.  If you have the room and are
    prepared to change the battery a tad more often you can use anything
    you like provided the voltage is correct.  In an old AT I have I use
    an alkaine 4.5 V cycle lamp battery with a series diode to drop it
    down to three point something.  Cost about UKP 2 and works a treat.
