I've still got a working HP25 that I keep going by fitting new AA NiCds
into the HP battery drawer. Can't leave it on the charger too long or
the batteries die.
The programmable part no longer works, but.
Cheers,
Robert.

I quit using most of my other calculators and, today, use an HP 25C almost
exclusively, though I have a '21 also. I didn't know those were collectibles.
back in the '70's, I modified the battery holder so I could replace the
batteries when they went bad. This was a common problem. The use of 1.5-volt
batteries probably won't hurt anything if my own calculators are any indication,
though I've usually replaced the NiCd types with others of the same sort.
