Hello Lars
Ni-cads are usually cheaper most are 1.2 volt per cell if you get a battery holder and connect 3 in series (+ to - ) you get 3.6 volt. You can use cheap penlite units. Also check out some cordless phone handset batteries as a lot of them are 3.6 volt. You could get away using the 3.0 volt battery but only for short time. The voltage would only have to drop say to about 2.8 volt before it would fail.
