A battery storage structure in an electric appliance which comprises a housing for the electric appliance having at least one side face, said housing also having at least first and second storage compartments defined therein, each of said first and second storage compartments having an aperture open at said side face of the housing. Each of the battery storage compartments accommodate a respective first or second battery mount for the support of at least one battery, at least one drive battery on the first battery mount and at least one back-up battery on the second battery mount. Each first or second battery mount is movable between a completely inserted position and a drawn position relative to the associated battery storage compartment. A manipulatable means is provided, which is operable to permit one of the first and second battery mounts to be movable from the completely inserted position towards the drawn position and to inhibit the other of the first and second battery mounts from being moved from the completely inserted position towards the drawn position.
