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.


Regards

    @sparking -  nope, not interested in keeping pristine - its a bit battered. It was a freebie aquisition.

    @mapj - you have confirmed my thoughts on this and along with other comments, it would seem a bit of a challenge (as sparking observed, i already knew)


    Fine then, I am convinced. I'll leave it.  My interest was to see if there was some way to deduce how it was wired and get the company who offered to construct the battery pack (subject to knowing the charging arrangements etc), but given my limited electronics abilities/experience it would seem better to leave it.


    Thanks for the interest, but consider it closed (or dormant as who knows what might pop up).
