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.

    ebee:

    Radios with real wooden parts.

    Those were the days.

    Often had decent speakers too.

    Whoops I`m showing mee age again.




    My old Roberts radio is very Eco/green. It runs for ages on a 9 VOLT PP9 battery. Much more economical than a DAB radio to run. It also has nice wooden end panels. It covers VHF, LW, MW and SW.  This design is often seen on T.V programs like "Heartbeat". Roberts radios have the royal crest being "By Appointment".

    Well, I suppose you are well positioned to listen to Radio Caroline and the other stations on boats bobbing up and down in the North Sea, but not so well placed for Al antic 252.
