Is there a difference between Lego Technic battery boxes - 8881-1 and 59510c01?

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=59510c01&C=86#T=C&C=86

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=8881-1&name=Power%20Functions%20Battery%20Box&category=%5BPower%20Functions%5D#T=S&O={%22ss%22:%22UK%22,%22rpp%22:%22200%22,%22iconly%22:0}

The images look like they were photographed from different sides, but appear
to be the same.

Are there any physical differences?

I have compared the photos. To me they appear physically identical; I just wanted
to know if they were in effect the same - whether a "set" (of one item?) or a
component (one item) in a set!

I don't get the whole service pack thing. :/

One is the battery box and the other is the bag and its content (its content
is the same battery box) So if you open the bag and take off the battery box,
you will get the item

Yeah, sorry I get what you mean. But to me that's not a service pack - that's
just an item within a packet. I'm used to product/software service packs,
that are more like upgrades to the original software, or additions to products
that improve the product and/or performance.


Thanks for the reply BTW.
