Default Fake / inert PP3 batteries

Hi,
Does anyone know where I could buy a couple of inert PP3s. *I am making
a display radio and need a couple to put into it. *It will hopefully be
on show for many years and so I don't really want to put a genuine
battery in as there will be no one to replace it if it leaks with age.

I had thought about pulling a couple apart but wasn't sure if I could do
it without leaving the case damaged.

Any ideas anyone?


A couple of dowels won't pass muster?
A bit of paint a bit of tinfoil...
