A new remake of an idea and model from: https://makerworld.com/en/models/938019-varta-deadcell-depot#profileId-903208 

I have, however, started from scratch using the same dimensions. And have split up the model for printing without an AMS or MMU. The “text” will need a filament swap if you do not have an AMS or MMU, though.

NOTE:!!!! To store dead batteries for disposal, place each one in a separate plastic bag or cover the terminals with non-conductive tape (like clear packing tape or electrical tape) to prevent short circuits and potential fires. Store the bagged or taped batteries in a secure, non-conductive container away from flammable materials, extreme temperatures, children, and pets, and ensure the container is in a cool, dry place. 

If you are using the Bambu slicer or Orca Slicer, you can edit the text and create a custom label with the included .3mf file. 

There are a few things to glue: The front Text onto the bottom unit. The prongs onto the prong base. You can glue the prong base to the top, but it's a pretty snug pressure fit. I've also created a bottom unit that has no text, making it solid, and all parts can be done without color swaps. 

Suggestions: Use a Copper silk filament and a silver Silk Filament for the top and metal prongs. But I printed the prongs out in Black and used a silver spray paint, which honestly looks better than just a “metal-look” filament. I suppose the top could be done the same way, with a copper spray paint. 

NOTE: The small copper band in the images of the Bottom unit is just because I ran out of filament.
