Well Philco did start out in the lead acid battery manufacturing business, and I think that they were still doing so during the war. The two materials of choice for battery cases used to be vulcanized rubber, and glass, even so that one is in decent shape for being buried in the ground for who knows how long. It could have been used as an aircraft battery, or even in a submarine, it's a 12 volt unit regardless, each cell being 2 volts.
Mike;
I have no doubt that a battery for a T54 would have been a big one, most of those Soviet tanks were Diesel powered so they needed a lot of cold cranking amps to turn the engine over.
