I'm not so sure, I do have mixed experienced with chemical batteries. 
Althought they work fine in my battery one of them got empty on my 
satellite reciever after only 8 years!!!! And than this leakage problem.
JVC once had a nice concept on the CR6066, it did transmitt the signal 
over a cable, as well as the power for it. This was not only extremely 
reliable, but also provides you with bidirectional communication. I do 
have the schematics of it and it's really staight forwarded. I think with 
some NAND-gates you could make something simmilar for the PC.
