HP 2113e Battery resistor

[Marc Verdiell]

And I opened the pack up, and you are 100% right! It's just a plastic shell
containing 10 big C-size cells, 3.5 A.hr each, indeed from the time period
it must be NiCd! Now if I can find similar cells I will be able to
reconstruct the pack inside the same shell. It will even look like the
original. Thanks again.

That marks it as an "A-version" power supply.

Note that the "A" supply used a 12 Volt nickel-cadmium battery pack (per 
page IXA-1 of the M/E/F-Series ERD), and the charger is a constant-current 
supply.  The pack is not broken down in the parts list but presumably would 
have contained ten 1.2-Volt cells.
The "B" supply used a 14 Volt lead-acid battery pack (ERD IXB-5), so seven 
2.0-Volt cells, and the charger is a constant-voltage supply.
If you use lead-acid batteries with the "A" power supply, you may wind up 
overcharging them and shortening their life.
