There are a few ways to do this. Using a welder for a D.C. source to zap the battery. A car battery should accomplish the same task. Dangerous as it could explode the target battery. Not for amateurs. Buy a downloadable manual to tell you how. Buy sub C batteries to replace the ones in a battery pack. Soldering experience necessary. On the first link scroll to the first comment.
