New ones needed. May be cheaper to buy the complete thing.

Buy Li-ion battery equipment if you are not able to use and charge it every 2 weeks. Expensive but more suitable for occasional users.

No simple ones.
Cheaper to buy new (or, as mentioned, it might be cheaper to buy a
complete tool) but from a pattern supplier, like this one...

I've dealt with them for Makita batteries (or copies of) and had no
problems so far. Two of them are now 3 years old and still working
fine, the third one is 2 years and ok.
