more electronics than electrics - battery and charging question

psychicwarrior
this pic --> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gunP4gFyIucj0ITstccf2D2szu3cw17O/view


is of parts of a radio that has a compartment for a rechargeable battery. 


From the pic and the pin voltages I measured (measurements not accurate I'm sure), is it possible to 'suggest' how the battery was wired/connected to the pins ?


It is a Genus Type-R DAB radio from yesteryear and the manufacturer no longer exists and getting hold of tech diagrams or info from other sources has proved fruitless.  The base plate states 7.2V battery pack.


Some companies have suggested they can put together a battery unit for me to fit, but they need to know how the leads need to be connected from the battery to the internal charging connector (4 pins)  and I cannot get from anywhere a manual, or a picture etc.


If it is possible to work out from the above picture etc, please let me know though I doubt without the manufacturer info it is likely possible (from what I've been told so far).  Additionally, I tried contacting one person who I found selling the radio, but they too had no battery to send a pic of.

    Hi.


    I guessed you already knew what I was saying, looking to see what the radio was it soon became evident that even when the radio was new to market the reviewers were saying the battery specification would be a future problem if you needed to replace it. Although not contributing to resolving the issue, in my mind I was clarifying what the problem was, and that was it was a unique battery in the first place, so the chances of finding a compatible battery that was used in a different piece of equipment is zilch.


    And yes, you knew that in the first place and didn’t need telling, though I don’t know if everyone else knew that.


    Best Regards Andy.
