That looks like a fat version of the old Deac/Varta NiCd batteries used in PMR walkie talkies etc. They came in blue heat shrink sleeves. As it's rechargeable and vintage it should be NiCd and hence 12.5V for 10 cells. I used to have a number of 225DKZ 12V 225 mAH batteries for the Ultra Cub at one time, but they are all well past their sell-by dates now. I sort of think there was a 450DK or 500DK in the range, but can't find any spec sheet for dimensions.
