To put it simply, To recharge the batteries with the "Battery Tray", it must be modified (addition of the temperature component, and addition/modification of the metal parts of the Battery Tray) In fact, it comes down to transforming the Battery Tray into the original Newton Battery pack in a way. It's clearer?
