Roombas

My Roomba's battery has died after five and half years. This seems a pretty reasonable lifespan to me. I have a suspicion that, for whatever reason, the scheduler was not working, so it's been sitting idle for a few weeks, which is not good for NiMH batteries.
I'm not sure if it's possible to bring them back to life (NiMH CPR?). I have seen instructions on how to build a replacement battery-pack with discrete batteries, rather than buy the official one, so I might investigate.
We've already had a mention of breadmakers, and I thought it important to keep up the tradition by mentioning Roombas too.
P.S. I like being able to preview and edit on the same screen.
