This is a replacement for the Alinco EBP-36N battery for an Alinco DJ-G5E amateur radio transceiver (it should also fit DJ-190/191/491E, DJ-X10E radios, but hasn't been tested with those).
It takes 8 AAA cells - I used NiMH cells in mine, although the original uses NiCd.
It doesn't have the charging contacts for use in the charging cradle, so can only be charged via the radio itself.
The batteries, by design, are a snug fit. Once you've assembled it you probably won't be getting the cells out again.
The cover for the bottom (where the batteries are inserted during assembly) is also designed to be a very snug fit. When printed in FDM on my Robox it has sufficient clutch not to need glue, but depending on your printer and settings some glue may be required.
I've included 2 STL files - with and without an internal support piece. The support piece is needed for FDM printing (don't turn support on in your slicer) and can be twisted off after printing.
The cells need to be soldered together (and wires attached) BEFORE they are inserted in the holder (see picture). The most central of the contacts is the positive.
