I've replaced the min my NLS MS-15 and MS215 portable scopes, I usually pay around
 8-9$ each
(it uses 3) for them new.  Google "2V 2.5AH Gell cell" you get mroe than afew hits.

Note any 6V gellcell that fits in the form factor (NLS has an area) will also work.
I've found 6V/2.2AH Yusa and others that fit in mind and they can be cheaper usually
under 15$.

If your really game 4 nicads of the 1800-2200mah size fit there but require the
charger side to be modded for constant current rather constant voltage.
