This is a ar battery replica designed to be both decorative and functional. The model can be used in two different ways, making it a fun and practical addition to any desk, workshop, or garage.

🔋 Coin Bank Mode
The battery features a dedicated slot that allows it to be used as a unique piggy bank, perfect for storing coins in a creative and eye-catching way.

â™» Used Battery Recycling Container
The design can also be used as a small recycling container for used household batteries, helping you keep them safely stored before proper disposal. As shown in the photo, different battery types can easily be inserted through the top opening.

The model is designed with realistic details inspired by real automotive batteries, including terminal posts and visual styling elements that give it an authentic and playful look. It is ideal for makers, car enthusiasts, or anyone looking for a functional decorative print that also promotes recycling.

I designed it as a multi-part model to allow faster and more efficient printing.

The battery slot cap should be printed in TPU for proper flexibility and a secure fit.
