Ha! I am in Christchurch Gary! Crazy!
Have ordered the replacement batteries - maybe touch base when they arrive?
If you could help that would be brilliant

Ideally given how hard it is to replace one all the way out here, & given
risks of me stuffing it up, I might try & get someone todo it for me. A new
Tandy 102 is invariably double the ebay cost with shipping out here.

Solder braid/wick has generally worked well for me. You may need to
add some flux to it to really get it to wick properly. If you don’t
have any flux, adding some fresh rosin core solder works too.

Desoldering the battery isn’t a big deal. Start by clipping it
out,
leaving just the legs soldered in. This makes the whole procedure
much safer and easier. You really don’t want to sink heat into a
battery, it’s an explosion risk.
Once the body of the battery is gone, use needle-nose pliers
Need to make sure you have a powerful-enough iron as there's a fair amount
of heat sink there.
I doubt you would *completely* destroy the machine, but you could damage
the battery connections. Where are you located? Are you looking for someone
to do the job or wanting to tackle it yourself?

It's more the de-soldering that's the tricky part.. soldering the new one
in is pretty simple..

My Tandy 102's NiCad finally looks like its giving up the ghost, so have
ordered this:
