We construct ball packings of the universal cover of SL 2(R) by geodesic balls and translation balls. The packings are generated by action of the prism groups pqkoℓ. We obtain volume formulae for calculations in geographical coordinates. Using these formulae we find numerically the maximal dense packings for cases k= 1 , o= 2 , ℓ= 1 and small values of p and q. © 2016, Springer International Publishing.
