How can I get the third battery which must leaked, from my BDL 250S?
pry it out, any way you can without damaging the tool. Damage the battery, not the tool if you have to. Spray it down with vinegar first, that might help loosen it up. When you have it out, clean up the area with vinegar on a cotton swab first, then clean the contacts with a fine sandpaper or emery board. Careful with the vinegar, don't let it go where you don't want it.
How long and how to reconditioning the battery
the battery can only be reconditioned if it is not working properly due to a scale build up on the plates of the battery, if a cell is shorted out ,it will have no effect to "recondition it" . if a battery needs to be reconditioned to work properly it is probably close to the end of its life cycle and it will be a temperary fix

What does a fault signify?
I hate this about automatic electronic battery chargers; they shut down when the battery isn't perfect. The battery may have an internal short or the specific density of the electrolyte may be high or low. The plates may be sulfated as well. An old-fashioned non-electronic charger would have charged it anyway.
Charger not holding charge, not turning on
You will have to verify that the charger is actually putting out the voltage it is supposed to. The input transformer could still be good while the secondary that goes to the output could be bad or a fuse or other component could be bad in the out put OR the wire from the adapter could be bad. Replace the charger with one that has the correct voltage and amperage ratings and the correct plug on the end.
