Congrats - you found one of the better batteries. Three of these fit
inside a CY-77/PPN-1 battery box for the AN/PPN-1:

AN/PPN-1s are quite valuable ($3500 typical), but few collectors pay much
for the batteries - who wants to lug around three heavy batteries in a
closed box when playing soldier? Still, you could probably get $25 to 50
for your unit.
