I was looking around for my 3-cell AAA holder because I had in my head it was 3.6V (most cordless phones are), but since I only need 2 batteries, I had to scrounge up a 2x holder. For a different project, I have the bases for cheap battery-powered lamps. I cut apart the bottom with my band saw and scavenged one of the battery holders.

To mount it, I just drilled a couple holes in the holder and then used them as a template to drill holes into the front of the shaver. I decided to use the front so I could still use the beard-trimmer feature on the back and so the shaver would sit in its charging cradle (even though it won't be plugged in anymore).

Don't forget to find screws that are short enough that they don't hit the batteries when they're installed.
