Host battery compartment help

[TTerbo]

hey guys, i dont make threads very often anymore,
BUT i am in the process of making a phr bluray, i have all the parts comming this week, my host has a compartment for 2xD battery cells, i am wondering how i should concert it to run on 2x C123 batteries.
Do i make some sort of tube and place the batteries in the tube??
i will post pics if you need them,
cheers

Yes you can do many modifications... The best advice I can give, without seeing it, is make an insert tubing that has the correct width to hold its self in the host and correct inner diameter for the batteries to slip in. If needed a dummy battery can be made so connection from the positive and negative contact points can be made.

You could make it out of PVC and drill out the inner bit, to the right dia. if you can not fine one.

Hope that helped -Adrian
