tankdriver Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Ok with several peoples help from over here, I now have a original BA-38 103 volt battery. Now I'm trying to find a BA-37 Battery. It does not need to even work, I just want one for display. It looks like a D cell just twice as long. Any help will be appreciated.

MatchFuzee Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 As it is only for show, have you thought of making a dummy battery? Dimensions here:- http://mil-spec.tpub.com/MIL-B/MIL-B-18-15C/MIL-B-18-15C00001.htm It shouldn't be too difficult print the cardboard sleeve.

tankdriver Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 I have thought of about that. Rayovac used to make a industrial flashlight battery that was 2 D Cells made in 1 case. But I have not seen that in years. I thought about trying to find one of those, but no luck so far..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 A lot of the old cardboard cells when split apart turned out to be two or more standard carbon zinc cells wired together. Often quite easy to fit a modern plastic battery box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
