MTH 20-3109-1 Triplex (May 2003) Cab 5015 (P/S2)

I purchased a pristine MTH Triplex recently. Owner hadn't run it for years and strongly suggested I replace the battery before powering it up. Good advice. I would like to replace the batteries with a BCR. Then I opened it up and found this: 2 AA Ni-Cd 1.2v batteries. (So I assume it's a 3v system...) (Manual calls for a 1.5v rechargeable NiCad battery...???)

They look to be original. Is there a BCR or equivalent I can use as a substitute for these two batteries? I know J & W produces a 3v BCR-2 but not sure if or how I could use it.

Is there something else available or are my only options to cut the wires to the battery case and install a plug compatible with the J & W BCR-2, if that's OK or, just replace the two Ni-Cd's with two new rechargeable 1.2v 700mAh batteries?

Thanks.
