Since you did not say what size of military battery you are using, this is from
TM9-6140-200-14 ( July '89 )

Normal weight ( unfilled ) 2HN @ 28 lbs., filled @ 37 lbs.
Normal weight ( unfilled ) 6TN @ 52 lbs., filled @ 72 lbs.
Normal weight ( unfilled ) 4HN @ 29 lbs., filled @ 38 lbs.
Normal weight ( unfilled ) 6TL @ 65 lbs., filled @ 85 lbs.

I will leave the rest of that complicated math stuff to you.
