Well in this instructable I will be modding my DVD remote controller. I was annoyed by the small battery that you have to use. AAA is a small battery which that I don't readily have available. But I do have a large collection of dead or dying AA battery which is prefect for remote controller. So I will be installing a AA battery pack that can be disconnected and be connected to a battery charger. That if you use a rechargeable battery in the holder.

You could possibly make a new battery cover and widen the original battery holes for the AA's to fit in the original spot but with a bit more thickness

might be a good idea to Velcro the battery pack onto the remote ;)

Well I'm going to use velcro but when I hack my remote, I didn't have any on hand :)

or even try to build it inside of the remote, because judging from the pictures there's not a lot going on in there

There isn't a lot of room inside the remote, to fit the battery. The other things is that I want to make easily removable to be charge by my battery charger.

Nice idea. I might do this to other AAA devices to utilize my growing mound of semi-dead AA's.
