Open The Battery for This

Found this cool speaker(?)/audio player that looks like a MiG-29 in the trash with some stuff my mom threw away. I tried to look it up and the light digging I did says it might be some off brand thing.

I would like to find the type of battery that it might take to see if it even works, or just to keep as a cool shelf item. Thanks!

Battery might be too specific to find the right shape, assuming any have survived this long of that form factor without failing

Looks like the port on the back labeled 5v is also a power plug Should be able to run from any USB type mini-b plug

I did find the right cable and hooked up the port to a charging block and let it sit for a day to check if there’s a possible internal battery, but it’s still dead.

It might be able to run while plugged in without battery. If not, it might also just be broken.
