Lithiums are not rechargeable; do not use them.

Get two size AA NiCad (nickel cadmium)or NiMH (nickel-metal hydride)batteries (you can get them at Radio Shack, but they're not the cheapest), solder 1/2" #18 or 20 wires on each end (use minimum heat on the bats), the solder them into the SI board observing correct polarity.

Bats should cost about $2/ea.
