I would be cautious of raising the voltage too much if it calls for 3.6V. Especially if you go over 5V
One example of that might be the 486 based motherboard for which the user's manual is [here].I would be cautious of raising the voltage too much if it calls for 3.6V. Especially if you go over 5V

On page 6-2, in reference to the external battery connector, is "3.6V - 4.5V"
The author has excluded 6 volt batteries.
6 volts too much for the chipset?
Considering that most other circuits on the motherboard operate at 5v I would say 6 is too much unless it original called for 6 (some do)
4.5V battery pack? Why use a pack? AA cells are cheap (as are battery holders) and long lasting.
One thing that old cells are liable to do is swell, which is probably a factor in leaking also. Get a few swollen ones in a Maglite and very often, you have to resort to a hammer.
When I said "pack" I meant holder
