A battery case for selectively housing batteries of different sizes has a housing dimensioned to receive the largest of the batteries and provided with an opening through which the batteries are insertable into the housing, and a battery holder is movable in the housing in the direction toward and away from the opening to effectively vary the space available in the housing for accommodating a battery between the holder and a lid which is engageable in the opening for closing the housing. Locking arms are pivotally mounted at the opposite sides of the housing and are selectively engageable with the holder for determining the positions of the latter relative to the housing, and battery size detectors are integral with the locking arms and project into the housing for engagement by a battery inserted therein so as to position the locking arms, and hence the holder, in dependence on the size of the inserted battery.

A battery case for selectively housing batteries of different sizes, comprising: a housing dimensioned to receive the largest of said batteries and having an opening through which the batteries are insertable into said housing; a lid engageable in said opening for closing said housing; a battery holder disposed in said housing for movement in the direction toward and away from said opening between at least first and second positions to effectively vary the space available in said housing between said holder and said lid for accommodating the batteries therein; locking means selectively engageable with said holder so as to limit said movement of the latter in at least said first and second positions thereof relative to said housing; and battery size detecting means projecting into said housing and engageable by a battery inserted therein through said opening for movement by the inserted battery thereby to move said locking means for determining which of said locking means engages said holder so that the resulting position of said holder corresponds to the size of the inserted battery.
