Wahl Arco Clipper Battery Case

Original battery fits ARCO, ARCO SE and GENIO PLUS Clippers from online desc.

The charging of this battery was hopeless, or mine were old. Either way they held no charge and the clipper felt low power.

Only tested on ARCO, replaced battery pack with 2x Eneloop Pro, removable for charging using a normal charger. Could also use other AA battery 1.2v.  1.5V disposable might work but the motor has no rating information so it might be too much voltage.

Some kind of double battery terminal, or wire required to link the batteries in series, I used: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005840724550.html.

Tear apart the original battery. the plastic tabs broke on mine but the original battery can still be used if this happens. The PCB is reused, the tabs can be pulled apart by hand. Check which side is the positive of the battery, I marked this on the PCB.

Place terminal down in the end of the new printed case, there is a gap for the tab to push through. Push in 2x eneloop batteries. making sure they are in series and the positive and negative sides match up to the original battery orientation. Slide in the PCB - you may need to bend the tabs a little to get good contact.

I found using the grey foam packer everything was tight enough and did not require the screw.

The model is not perfect, the batteries fit a little tight but are removable - the holes at the end are 4mm and can be used to push if the tolerances are too tight. The lid clips lock into the clippers but not as securely as the original. Might update if it becomes annoying but worked for me.
