Hi, I have an old Braille Lite 40. A few years ago I had it modified so that it now has a replaceable battery and also uses metal hidride rather than nicads. I had some other work done at the same time, so I can't say for sure what the cost was, but I think my total bill was under $300 for everything, including cleaning.
