The MPU battery, is it a rechargeable, does the board charge the battery? If I replace the battery with a remote holder, can I install 3 rechargeable AAs? Or standard AAs with a diode?

The original battery used was rechargable. If you want to use a non rechargable battery like three AA, replace the battery current limiting resistor with a blocking diode.

Better yet, swap the U8 chip to a NVRAM and then you never have to worry about batteries again.

Also, if you really do want to re-install rechargeable batteries -- the board is designed to trickle charge NiCad batteries. Do NOT use NiMH or rechargeable Lithiums, the recharge circuit is not setup for those and can result in fire.

Just replace with NVRAM

No good can come from batteries.
