I've always thought that was the one flaw in the telinga design, the
battery buried in the handle. A handle molded so that a standard 9 volt
battery would slip in the end would be more to my taste. Such a battery
could be either a common one or a rechargeable. That way you don't get
into having to dig into the handle to replace a failed rechargeable.
I've had other equipment that took a 9 volt that way.
I'd think it could be done with a fairly minor redesign of the mold
shape for the handle. The handle would have to be slightly fatter, but
not by all that much.
