Much as I dislike throwing away working kit, I can't really
justify buying a replacement battery, could you?

I binned my old one in the same situation and got a new one from
Wickes. They've got a range of bodies, batteries and chargers so you
can mix and match. I ended up getting a couple of lower capacity
batteries (1.1 AH istr) as they are lighter, cheaper to replace when
they do die and seem to have enough capacity to keep me working on
whatever DIY stuff I'm up to.
