Alinco EBP-36N battery box

thingiverse

This is a replacement for the Alinco EBP-36N battery specifically designed for use with an Alinco DJ-G5E amateur radio transceiver, although it should also fit other models like DJ-190/191/491E and DJ-X10E radios, provided thorough testing has been conducted. It requires eight AAA cells - NiMH cells were used in my setup, whereas the original uses NiCd. This battery replacement lacks charging contacts necessary for use with a charging cradle, thus necessitating charging directly through the radio itself. The batteries are designed to fit snugly, and once assembled, they can be expected to remain securely in place. The cover at the bottom, where batteries are inserted during assembly, is also engineered for a tight fit. When printed using FDM on my Robox printer, it exhibits sufficient traction not requiring any glue; however, depending on your printer settings and specifications, some glue may be necessary. I have included two STL files - one with an internal support piece and the other without. The support piece is essential for FDM printing but should not be activated in your slicer. It can be twisted off after printing. To assemble this battery replacement correctly, the cells must first be soldered together along with attaching wires; then they are inserted into the holder (refer to the accompanying picture). The central contact is positive.
