Non-rechargable batteries don't like being charged. Charging them could even cause them to leak which was what you wanted to prevent. Since I do not know how you can disable the charger and you probably won't like modifying your Poly6 I have two suggestions. You could leave it like it is now. You have a new battery which probably will never leak. Remove the battery from the board, install it in a safe spot and connect it with wires. If you go for non-rech.. then you'll have to use 3 1.5 Volt cells which give you 4.5 v. Connect it using a diode to let the voltage drop to about 3.8 volt which is close enough I geuss. Eelke Klein PS. Ofcourse I do not make any guarantees and you follow the above suggestions at your own risk.
