Hi Brooke,
sorry I have to disappoint you; Ni-Cd batteries do not use any acid,
they have K-OH kalium hidrioxid [potassium hydroxide for anglophone ]
as electrolyte and they are normally very air-tide, and widely used in
radios.

Hi Jeremy:
It's a very bad idea to put any battery with acid in an enclosure that
has electronics since if it vents the acid will etch the PCBs.
Guess how I learned this. I got a great price on a Gibbs Frequency
Standard because the oven no longer worked.

Modern Ni-Cad batteries have much more capacity than older ones and no
longer have a memory effect. They are also very easy to charge, so
why not just replace the old cells?
