the batterys is known as a gum stick battery and can be found on ebay for a few quid,
Now you may find the voltage is about 1.2v and about 500/700mah
1.2v = the voltage and you must stick to this, Mah is how many hours the battery will last and now you will probably fine them in excess of 1000mah this also not an issue
The issue you may have is ni-cd or Ni-mh - if you have a ni-cd these are much harder to get, mainly from china on ebay for about £3 item 361298337890 or nicd from china is 400856146442 at £2.20 but will take a month to arrive
i do not know these sellers . so please view feedback of these sellers before buying
If its Ni-Mh you should be fine to swap it out, however a higher Mah will take longer to charge in the supplied charger but will last longer in use.
I cannot be certain if its safe to charge a ni-mh in a ni-cd only charger - if you can it will take a long time, and i cannot say how safe it would be.
a work around would be to purchase a desktop ni-mh charger for about £8 thats take all size battery's from aaa - d size as gum stick battery will fit inside the spring clips, but you must take great care on + and - poles and is the correct type and voltage its just a flat shape instead of round, but if u do go down this way by a standard charger not a superfast 1 or 2 hours as it just heats the battery's up too much
It takes either two or three 9 volt (ick!!!) batteries depending if you want higher phantom power. If you don't use condenser mics, two 9 volt batteries are adequate.
There is one available (very cheap) at eBay UK but that seems to be the only one on sale there anywhere in the world and they will only ship within the UK.
If your battery polarity was reversed then there is a possibility that a protection zener diode onthe set could be short as a prevention. so you will have to check on the + line input to the set. If not the amplifier could have shorted depending on the applied power. Anyway you will need a good check onthe main board to confirm this but I think with a tech help, it will not be difficult. Hope I could help. Good day
If you have ever used 'standard' or 'heavy duty' batteries in your unit, you may need to clean battery contacts as those types can be very corrosive and leave a non-conducting film behind.
