I had some older HP servers at work with Ni-MH batteries that kept bulging, and reporting as failed.
Anyone in this circumstance knows that if you order a new battery, you are either getting a seller refurbished (aka they didn't do anything because the new batteries are bulging too) or you get new old stock batteries (aka batteries that have been sitting around with a partial charge for at least a decade now and probably bad).
Luckily some cool people on the internet pointed out that you can get a quad AAA pack of Ni-MH batteries, and it will be the proper voltage, slightly more current, and is still capable of being charged by the onboard circuitry.
Enter this design which should hold the daughter board card, cable clip, and battery pack in a nicely pressure fit package, with easy to replace batteries.
### My setup:
- 4x AAA NiMH batteries; 1.2V, 800mAh
- 1x quad AAA holding pack
- Solder
- Glue or Double sided tape (optional)
### Suggested print settings:
- 30% Infi
