I found an old thread from 2009 that showed the batteries for a MAC 4200. One post insisted on using NiCd batteries, just as C_DK had posted. I found this interesting as the ones in my new/old MAC 4200 were Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH), and looked almost new. They would only hold a charge for a short while, perhaps a ½ hour max. It is nice to see such great build quality as I popped the top. Anyway, I cleaned up the terminals a bit and changed to NiCd and Bob’s your uncle! I used Geilienergy AA NiCd 600mAh 1.2V, purchased from Amazon. Easy job, hope this helps someone else.Also make sure you have your local tech check out the battery pack. The nicads will leak and destroy the original battery holder. I have my local Batteries+ plus make up a replacement pack and zip tie it in place.
This applies to most of their digital tuners.
