There is a seller on eBay USA (and occasional poster on this forum) who makes simple replacement battery packs for these - and other - vintage HP calculators for very decent prices. They are not as pretty as the original packs but with the cover back in place no one will see any difference. Apart from the fact that the replacement packs have 2...3 times the capacity of the original ones and won't leak as easily.
