The new battery charger ?
You have to peel off the sticker and there are two screw underneath it.
Hey, I finished the battery mod and it turned out great! I will post some pics sometime.
I was wondering how much different it is to modify the non-rechargeable battery pack. I don't have one, but I was looking at a picture of the inside, and I didn't see anywhere to solder the wires from the new battery.

Are you talking about the 6 - AA battery pack. If so, you have to take out all of the spring/coiled wires on the left. Then take out all but the bottom two on the right. You attach positive and negative there to them. Those bottom two spring/coiled wires on the right attach to the pins on the underneath of the battery pack that connect to the Nomad.
Thanks Hailrazer! I am modding another one for a Christmas present for someone, and I had found a 6 AA battery pack for cheaper than the rechargeable. Thanks for all your help!

Be aware that it takes a bit more to make the new battery fit in there. I had to remove the cells from the new battery. It wouldn't fit with the casing.
