I got one of these in my old 386 and I am not sure what is correct to replace it with. Can I link up 3 coin cell 1.5V batteries and use that even though these are not alkaline? I don't feel like putting alkaline batteries in there, fear of them leaking acid.
Any holders that fit 3 L type coin cells?
Any other solutions?

Is there enough space for a regular AA or AAA 3x battery holder?
I got one of those in a scrap 486 System and i thought the idea is pretty neat to just use regular batteries.

I went for a AAA holder and let's hope it fits. I'm a bit worried about battery leakage though!
