It seems as if the NimH batteries only last so long and then they won't hold a charge any longer. Using standard alkaline cells is one solution, but they also run down quickly. I love using LED calculators, but would like a portable power source that will last several weeks without recharging that fits the woodstock form factor.

I use them for my Woodstock CPU board replacement with inbuilt LiPo charger.

The voltage is 3.8V which is way higher than the 2.5V that the original Woodstock used from NiCads. You could probably drop some voltage with 2 x 1N4002 diodes in series on the +ve battery terminal.
