My book says the same thing, but I found that an alkaline battery will
leak, especially if you leave the power supply on all the time, like I
do, and the battery is continually charged. Spend the extra money on a
Nickel metal hydride rechargeable battery. I leave my power supply on
all the time, so the battery only is needed during power failures, or
when I shut down the power supply to service the rig.
