Abstract
A battery casing comprises a lid which closes a battery receiving chamber. Instead of mounting the lid in an outer panel of an instrument in which the battery casing is used, it is directly mounted on the body of the battery casing, thus avoiding the use of the outer panel of the instrument as an electrical conductive path for a battery contained therein. This permits the entire body including the outer panel of the instrument to be formed of a material such as plastics which is inexpensive and easy to machine.
