A battery casing is adapted to fit into at least two different receiving bays of different sizes. The casing includes an adapter panel which is movable into at least two positions. Moving the adapter panel to the first position increases the effective width of the casing, and allows the battery to be inserted securely into a first receiving bay. Moving the adapter panel to the second position maintains the original width of the casing. This allows the battery casing to be inserted securely into a receiving bay, which has the same width as that of the original casing.
