The 5 button-cell original battery is NiCD, and wired right in to the
wall power jack to be charged whenever there is wall power. The new
batts are wired exactly the same, I didn't do anything new or different,
just moved things around physically.
If you're talking about the vestiges of the 4xAA holder shapes in the
case molding, that is just how they manufactured this pack. They took
the cad files for the normal case, and just made a small modification to
create a thin-walled flat spot for the panel-mount barrel connector to
mount, and didn't bother changing anything else or drawing a new design
from scratch. I can tell that the case was molded this way rather than
modified from a normal case. The *design* was modified from the normal case.
I think I took some more pics a few months ago that might show that
better. I'll see if I can find them.
