Given that most units have the same general shape I wonder if I could
get a stand alone 18V replacement unit from another brand and swap the

Every single cordless drill pack I've taken apart uses the same physical
size cells - so assuming the layout of them is the same you should be ok.

However, have you tried getting the correct pack? B&Q sell ones for quite
old PP types.
