[Milsurplus] TBY-8 batteries

[Roger Basford]

Hi All,

I've had a TBY-8 transceiver now for about a year and on Sunday I bought two 
more, plus the vibrator PSU and a "Willard ER-40-4" wet battery pack. The 
battery is long-dead but the case could be used to hold two modern Dryfit 6 
volt batteries - if I knew how to open the old cell! I think it's a 
perspex-type plastic and the lid appears to be glued in place. Anyone been 
down this road before and found a suitable solvent or another method of 
opening the lid? Also, was this a lead-acid battery? Nothing shows up on 
Google. The battery has a brown sludgy appearance inside, perhaps 
lead-oxide?

TIA,

Roger Basford/G3VKM - Norfolk, England.
