If you want a battery box that would look at home at the cottage have a look at this Vintage 9 Volt Battery Box creation made by JingleJoe. Before you pass it by as a quick hack keep in mind that everything was custom made including the terminals. "Here is one of my most recent creations, a "casemod" of sorts for a 9 volt battery. Made all but the terminals myself the terminals were made for me by a friend with a lathe, I aged and stained the wood myself and made my own stencil for number/letter the whole thing is about 8cm x 8cm."

This is very nice. Looks like it would fit in very nicely with steampunk stuff. I like it.

That is freakin’ awesome!
Maybe it’s just me, but with all the extra space, I would add in a few more 9v batteries in parallel, just so that it have a nice long rugged life.

How am I supposed to fit this in my smoke detector?

[...] JingleJoe decided to give the familiar PP3 battery a look more befitting the “strange electronic devices” he has in development. He built the above frankenstinian aged-wood case complete with custom lathed terminals! That right there is some impressive dedication to the aesthetic. He also shared some info regarding his aging technique - Bash the edges with the straight side of a hammer like this one to put grooves in it perpendicular to the edge, then bash it around a bit more with bricks and whatever bashy things you might happen to have, I used a screwdriver. Then sand the wood and stain it with a dark wood stain, maybe give it two coats, then sand the stain off a bit leaving it in grooves and nooks and crannies. for best results try to sand it off the corners and edges more than anywhere else. Then stain again
thats pretty much it!You’ll likely note a practical benefit as well if you’ve ever tried using alligator clips on a nine-volt’s positive terminal. Read more from his forum post. [via Hacked Gadgets] [...]
