The snaps are still good on the rusty battery so either I will fit a modern AA holder to the top from the scrap battery or re-stuff with cells from an old 286 laptop battery I have. For this I would be tempted to add an internal charger that has an extra pair of pins on the pack to plug it onto. I could hide a switch inside close to the battery cover lift hole to prevent over charging if it is running on mains.
NIMH cells do not work very well if they are left on charge for too long so the switch would be needed.
