They hold 6 AA alkaline cell batteries. Very well made, fits excellent on the radio and adds just a little heft to the radio so it doesnt feel like an empty magazine.
Considering that so many other things I and many others have that run on AA cells, I thought it would be good to have a battery pack for some radios that used them also. The alkaline cells should give long operation time.
The case is designed WITHOUT the alignment slots on the bottom sides so you cannot accidently put the radio into a charger thinking it will recharge......it won't fit and theres no contacts.
I have not tried any rechargeable AA cells as I don't have any currently. They would have to be removed to recharge as there are no external contacts on these cases.
For $2.30 each delivered from fleabay, it was a no brainer.
If you get one or three, this is how you open them. Push in on that middle locking tab and using your fingers on the sides, gently separate the bottom then while pulling the small piece towards the bottom, it wil come apart. Reassemble by putting the top together first then slightly hinging it closed and that tab will lock the bottom.
Use some finesse.......don't try to just jam it open or closed.
