US Military Radio Battery CASE BB-490/U Add your own battery cells

  
Up For Sale are on unused BB-490/u cases. The case has been carefully opened and the old Gel cells have been removed. These batteries were made in 1991. With no interior cutting there is a clear area of 3.87" wide x 3.25" high x 2.18 depth. If you cut out the plastic fillers you can gain 1.4 " in height and 3/8 " in width.

As shown in the last photo, as an example, using 18650 Li- Ion cells you can get 16 cells with out cutting any plastic, and looks like this would allow room for battery protection boards, which I recommend. A good source for free batteries are old tool or laptop batteries, these usually have a couple of bad cells and that's what causes the pack to fail. If you need mating connectors, check my other listings.
