nimh chemistry is ok for the circuit, but there is always still the separate issue that the cheapest no-name manufactured ones are a risk simply because of unknown construction quality and longevity. So, try to get Yausa or Varta or Panasonic etc, and generally pay more than $5 per batt not $2 per batt.
Or at least, if you get a no-name, just be aware of that and be prepared to go back inside in a few years. Probably won't hurt the machine unless it leaks, more likely simply not work for 30 years like the original did!
