I bought my Whites XLT used about 18 months ago and it came with both the rechargeable battery pack and the pack for replaceable AAs. The NiCad rechargeable pack would never charge up enough to suit me so I took it over to Batteries Plus. They picked a similar battery pack off their shelves, which is actually meant for remote controlled toys, and soldered the new pack into the old Whites sleeve.
It worked great! Up until the time I went to England and accidentally fried the adapter. But that's another story, and there's a fix for that too.
I don't know what the cost of an official Whites battery pack is, but the battery I bought at Batteries Plus was $22, and the guy rigged it up for me at no charge.
