You'll need 20 AA size batteries to rebuild the pack. I would recommend
sticking with NiCd's rather than switching to NiMH's. Rebuilding the pack
is pretty straight forward, no electronics involved at all. Just open it
up, solder up the new pack and put it in. The only downside is that 20 AA's
aren't particularly cheap, especially after you get the tabs spot welded to
them :-(

Mine doesn't make any noise either.
