I have owned a Black and Decker DP240 Cordless Electric Screwdriver for 5 years now. Its battery had started losing its capacity to hold charge, so I looked online to see if it was possible to change its batteries. I couldn't find any blog/DIY guide on which batteries to replace the internal ones with and how to go about pry open the screwdriver and putting it back. So here are some photos outlining how I changed the batteries in mine and turned it into new. To open the screwdrive, you will need a set of "Torx Pin 6 lobe" screwdriver set. You cant use regular torx screwdriver bits. You need ones with holes in the center of the bits so that the center pin on the screw can fit into those holes. You can buy just a set of just the bits here.
