I have two grip handles for the R16 but no batteries so I decided to make a couple of batteries from scratch. The handle contains 6 - AA batteries soldered together with taps for 3.6 volts and 7.2 volts.
The contacts are stamped from copper sheet, the contacts are contained in a Delrin housing that is threaded on one end to fit the grip and internally threaded on the other end to contain the contacts.
The battery housing is machined from aluminum tubing with the ends knurled for grip - similar to the original. I could probably trim about 1 CM from the total length -I wasn't sure how much room the wires would take.
curious if you still the two battery grip handles and if so if you would be willing to sell one. i got a reasonable replacement battery but i don’t have the base plate battery grip attachment.
