You may be able to do that, but I don't think it's a viable option for
most of us. First problem is getting into the plastic battery case.
Mine seems to be fused together with no way to get in without
destroying it. Next problem is where to get replacement batteries of
the correct dimensions and voltages. Not saying it can't be done, I'm
just not sure it's worth the trouble.
