I could not pass up the chance to buy this 048 multi-tester but in order to attempt to get it working I need to address the battery issue. It has 2 Burgess #5156 22.5v 15 cell batteries and one #2. I figured out the #2 is a D cell but I am not sure what to do for the the others. Has anyone built this type of battery pack? My main concern is do I use AA, C, D build?
While searching the site I noticed a fellow named Batterymaker...If you are still out there, do you make these or have instructions of the best way how to?

Thanks Everyone!!
