Who has information about the live of the battery pack of the German G-mines (LMA & LMB)?

I think these battery packs are dead after 65 years or more.

Normally, yes, but would you trust them? I wouldn't.
Super images, thanks for sharing.

you can ask Spotter but I believe 33 RE/EOD treats them as live and performs the required RSP.
