As I recall, the front lamps used 4.5 volt flat batteries with a long and short blade terminal on top. I can find these by Duracell, made in Belgium, if I Google 4.5 volt batteries. http://tinyurl.com/5sgoz2

As for the taillights, the ones I remember just used C or D cells and you turned them on by twisting them. THey were made to clamp on the seatstay, but we always attached them to our saddlebags, thus sometimes running afoul of the law.
