I've looked around to see how this one comes apart and I can't see an easy
way. I found a battery "repair kit" that costs as much as a "rebuilt"
battery, or an aftermarket one.
It's a shame, because this is a good solid tool, and I hate to just recycle
it. I'll probably put it on Nextdoor and see if someone else wants to mess
with it.
