My Chroma is not happy - Repairing a Rhodes Chroma

A thread recently came up on the Rhodes Chroma list regarding problems storing patches. Most synths have batteries that last for years, but eventually they run out and you have to replace them.

I noticed the standard Duracel batteries being used. I'm curious what others think of replacing batteries on synths with them. Is it safe or are you risking the battery linking over time? I'd imagine you'd noticed before there ever was a problem as the memory would be dead beforehand, however, if you don't play the synth for a while...
