As already stated.
Bad Idea and in most cases the charge port isolates the battery from the rest of the appliance.
Rebuilding the battery pack is an excellent idea.
I do it regularly with lap top batteries.
$ 40 for replacement cells + a few $ for some colder solder against $ 150 for a battery , no brainer.
That encyclopaedia of stupidity & ignorance called Utube has got hundreds of ego maniacs posting little videos of themselves repacking batteries, and some actually know what they are doing so are correct.
Find a couple who seem to be using items names rather than "solder the thingie" watch them a few times & get some replacement batteries.
Even better would be to buy 12 Cyclon spiral cell batteries and make up a new battery.
Cyclons hold a lot more charge lb for lb than any battery other than the lithium ion batteries.
Down side is most Lithium battery packs have a recharge counter in the charging control circuit which limits the number of times that can be used.
Some of these are resettable, some are not but Lithium batteries have a bad habit of going BANG big time if charged incorrectly.
