Default Suggestion for cordless tool makers

Someone has done this. I think Black&Decker.

Why not offer a CORDED battery replacement?

If the battery poops out, you could continue to use the tool with a cord -
much like you can with a cell phone.

The working parts business of battery charger that comes with the tool is
smaller than the battery itself, and could easily be fitted in a case the
size of the battery.

In the alternative, why doesn't some clever entrepreneur concoct the
device to sell as an after-market product? Certainly non-OEM battery
replacements are available; why not power-cord replacements for the
battery?

Heck, I've got some old batteries lying about, I might just try building a
small DC power supply to fit in the scooped-out innards of one.

Just thinking out loud.
