I've found in the past once the battery is shot they've updated the models and put a new little doohickey on the battery shaft so a whole new tool is required...engineered obsolescence<grrrr>..or even if the replacement fits, they cost almost as much as a whole new tool.
Same Here ;)

Do the battery powered ones really have the torque needed?
Only one I ever used was really wimpy, but that was long ago and only 5" blade.
Lithium battery?

There are more than a few Wichita coop build threads here,
check some of those out maybe...
