I have not seen batteries for sale that would still be good for over 12 years. Instructions sheet at the web link above says to replace batteries with the same type, and not to mix types of batteries.

Hi. I know your question was quite a while ago. I just found a Bubba in almost perfect condition but it did not talk. I opened the battery box and there were corroded batteries in it. My hubby cleaned it out really good. We put fresh batteries in and it still did not work. Everything was perfect and It didn't make sense for it not to work. I decided to go into the box. take out the new batteries restretchl out the little battery springs a little bit. You know pull them down towards the middle of the battery case... just a bit Then I put the brand new matching batteries in, making sure they were perfectly inserted. I pressed his hands and he worked. Sounds like he is brand new. I don't know if this will work for you, but I thought I would let you know, just in case. I know you wanted your sons Bubba to work. I hope it works for you, if you haven't been able to fix it, yet. Take care.
