I think I'll get a dead battery one at a garage sale and solder in a new battery.

Note this:

I've also seen pages on how to make a battery pack with c sized nigh cells.

Hmmm, you guys must have the deluxe version as our model did not come with the adult toy attachment package.

We have a housekeep that comes twice a month for the heavy cleaning.

Not sure if this is intentional or just subconscious on her part.
