[You may clip these nicads with alligator clips inside your flash and they will work instead of cutting the top off your old battery. This is if you do not wish to go to the trouble of fixing your old battery.]
HOW TO CUT THE TOP OFF YOUR OLD BATTERY:
1- Clamp your old battery between two pieces of wood in your vise (if you have one)
2- Purchase "Precision Razor Pull Saw Set w/ fine 52T blade Exacto" (from eBay)
3- Measure 14mm down from the battery top
4- Use a diamond tip pencil and a metal ruler to scribe a line on each battery side
5- Cut the battery corners at 45 degrees with the Exacto saw along the lines at each corner
6- Use a fine narrow hacksaw blade to cut the lines between corners (or Exacto saw)
7- Saw each battery side just enough to saw through the casing on all sides
8- Finish sawing the top off the battery (with a hacksaw & the Exacto saw)
9- File or sand down the battery terminals on the inside of the battery top (+ /- terminals)
10- Drill a small hole in each battery terminal + / - from the inside partially up through each terminal
11- Insert small self-tapping screws up into each battery terminal from the inside
12- The top now has two screws used to attach the new nicad battery wires
13- Use needle nose pliers to gently wiggle the lead plates out of the bottom of the battery
14- If the plates are stuck put a strip of wood along one top edge of the battery bottom
15- Use that wood as a fulcrum to rest a screwdriver and pry the plates up out of the battery
16- Be careful not to damage the plastic top edge of the lower battery box (rest on the wood only)
17- Once the battery plates are removed from the bottom cut the interior plastic dividers out
18- I used a jigsaw to cut mine out (a sharp chisel may (?) also do the job)
19- Any remaining interior plastic on the sides or in the bottom may be cut out and sanded out
20- Drop in the new nicads and attach to the top of the old battery
21- Install side insulation so the batteries do not move around inside the battery box
22- The top may be epoxied back on
23- Set your flash to the nicad charging setting
