Console bulkhead battery source

simpler... buy a threecell pack intented for cordless phones. Ratshack sells them and there are various form factors but they work. FYI don't worry the capacity, anything will do even three AA nicads (500mah) in a battery box(holder).

With other battery packs I tried to use off the shelf batteries to make a new pack but had very poor luck in getting the solder to stick to the battery. It seemed like a spot weld was used to attach the wire rather than normal solder. I assume that your idea uses the existing leads in the battery pack to get around this problem.
