The HP28S uses N cells.  Rechargeable N cells are available, but ordinary
alkaline batteries last so long (typically more than 3 times as long as a
single charge on NiCad rechargeables, as much as 10 times as long if the
calculator is lightly used) that rechargeables are probably not worth the 
cost or extra effort involved.
