[Milsurplus] Old Battery replacement

[J. Forster]

Hi Ben,

Any chance you could take a couple of pics of the battery internal arrangement and exterior markings, and measure the outside dimensions of the battery? I have a TG-5-B but no battery.

Thanks,
-John

The old battery though, managed to remove the cells which left the outer wrapper and the inner stiffener. These are covered in the old corrosion and such. I was just wondering if anyone had ideas how to treat these ?  I can gently wash off the surface mess but just wondered if there was anything I could soak the paper in to nutralise the acid etc.
