You neglected to mention one VITAL item, what is the part number for the replacement batteries or where does one find those? I've searched all over the internet and cannot find them anywhere. The company says they are NOT user serviceable or replaceable parts. For me, it's not a matter of being able to the job, I definitely can, but it is not possible without the parts.
Judging by the pictures, the battery seems to be comprised of standard sub-c NiCd cells.
You would probably also be able to use NiMh cells, which would grant you a little more runtime and can be bought pretty much everywhere.
