You might want to check your "yellow pages" and see if someone
nearby repairs those old battery packs. They cut open the old
pack and replace the cells


I've thought about that. Batteries are _expensive_ and rebuilding

I wonder what individual battery size those use (for example, 1/3
AA).


I think they're "sub-C"; basically a half-length 'C'.
