I don't know if this is possible, but I am involved in the electronic
scale business, and we were having battery problems, so we just pitched
the factory batteries and started using gel cel batteries!  These 
lasted about 10 times as long as the original batteries ( I don't know
if the originals were nicads or not), and they never stopped working.
We were very satisfied with them.  Radio Electronics published a nice
article on how to build a gel-cel charger using a lm317 and some other 
stuff, and we built several of these and sold them to our customers!  Try it1
