Brian,

Here are the poor remains of a box for a BA 70 battery.

Hey Brian - that sure looks like them. Says they still do military batteries as well.

Took me some time, but I found this photo in my gallery. Unfortunately, the crate is not in my collection

So now we know the wood crate, the cardboard box and the battery itself. Wish I had time to repro the whole lot, especially if the battery could have the adaptor built into it.

Here is a wood replica of a BA 70. It looks quite good, and can be seen on this webb page, in French:

Never too late

Here attached is a pdf file with the side marking, actual size. If you print that sheet on an A4 decal for inkjet printer, it will have the correct size.

Please note that:
There are two different markings. One has the marking FRONTon battery top side. That's extremely useful.
The marking is only on the front battery side.

One of my own batteries, from SAFT (France) .
The top marking is exactly the same as the US type except the N before BA and the 0 before 70.
No FRONT marking on top or on battery side

I wondered if anyone finding something to make, could make these with a 3d printer, all it will be is a plastic box with lid stencilled up. Quite feasible.

Yes, it can be done.
I have made a 3D drawing of the battery, I’m wondering how much they would ask to print the battery.
