Battery Compartment

[MarkR2955]

Has anyone found a battery compartment that will fit easily into a 125b enclosure? I'd like to be able to change the battery without taking the back off.

Hi.
This is probably not the answer you looked for but a different view and solution on the same type of problem. I made a PSU that contains two parts, One 12v 1000 Ma DC wallvart (could be AC for that matter to) and one regulator box that regulates the power to one 12V and two 9V DC outlets. This is enough to power all 12 boxes (both those that wants 12V ant the ones that needs 9V) on my board. Because of the modular setup I can alter the power source from wallvart to rechargeable 12V motorcycle battery. (3.5 Ah lasts for many hours) This way I don't need to depend on 220V power and I have only one battery to care for and it's rechargeable so it's cheap to run. The meeter is only there to see when the battery zag and when its time to re charge.
