more electronics than electrics - battery and charging question

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.

    At that age it will be obsolete with no DAB+ facility, so not really worth spending money on.




    Personally I am quite happy just getting vintage comedy programs on the old DAB BBC Radio 4 Extra. All the other rubbish can be accessed on traditional terrestrial radio anyway if you're strong enough to endure it. Trance music, politics and perpetual sport etc.  The BBC's World Service can be interesting in the middle of the night  if Brexit worries keep you awake. Sometimes the programs are even uplifting, well once in a blue moon anyway. But normally they cover international disasters and human rights issues. Grim.
