A battery holder of electrical non-conductive plastic, shorter than elongate batteries inserted therein, is provided having an opening receiving the upper contact end of an elongate nickel-cadmium battery that generally come in 7.2 volt and 9.6 volt capacities. The plastic cases of these batteries have opposite side openings to opposite battery terminals and a detent opening on an end of the top insert portion of the battery. A manually pressable release detent latching lever is pivotally mounted in the battery holder and resiliently biased to the detent battery hold position. A cam surface on the detent is engaged by the top edge of the battery and case structure and the dentent is camed outwardly as the battery assembly is being inserted into the opening of the plastic battery holder and then is snapped back into the detent hold state in the detent opening of the battery and case assembly. A two path connection socket is provided with the battery holder and a resistor, contained within an upper chamber of the holder, is in series with the electric circuit path specific to the voltage rating of the battery being held by the holder so that six volts be provided to six volt bulbs (halogen bulbs) connected to the socket.
