How old. Only relevant for deciding how it is assembled.

It's a DB450. I don't 'member how old, maybe 10 years.

worked 100%. Right off the charger, it'd rev up, then slow to near nothin',
they rev up again. About to roll over and die. Practical to replace
batteries?

I've had an old B&D Spotliter rechargable flashlite since the 80's.
Worked great until just recently. Output on the charger checked
out, so it's gotta be the battery. I can't even figger out how to
get it out of the handle. Any hope?

Don't you see any screw heads?

I just looked again. No fasteners visable.

YOu can drill them out, especially
with a left handed drill bit and a reversible drill, or you can look
for special tips for their special screws. They sell them now wioth
32 tips in a red plastic thing about as big as 2 cigarette packs.

If you don't see the screw heads their under stomething. Or the case
snaps together

Doesn't look like it. The base doesn't snap together.
