I've seen the Bulgin ones. I like the 4-cell model (drawer is nice feature). But it needs to be 2x2 config (2 pairs of 2 cells in-line).
How hard would it be to make a plastic box to slide one of the open ones into? 6 pieces of plexiglass, a hinge, maybe a latch, and some plexiglass cement. Nothing to it!
For that matter, you could make a form from a couple of sticks, and warm up a piece of plexiglass to wrap around the sticks, and voila! Battery holder!
Good Luck! Rich
Jim, you didn't read the requirements. All of the ones I saw on the that web page are open. He wants the cells to be out of sight, out of mind. Once in a blue moon, I see them for sale surplus.

Yeah, I'm guilty of that a lot too. I seem to have a talent for killing off a thread.

Get a broken Garmin II/II+/III/III+ and chop it up (down?)
It's no too difficult to make your own. I make custom cases using Delrin plastic and the spring and tab contacts salvaged out of old remotes and such.
