I am considering buying some spokePOVs, but living in a country and city that has a lot of rain, I though I'd figure out how to waterproof it first, and my first concern was the batteries. After some search I found these battery case that holds 1xAA battery with the dimensions: 66mm (L) x 26mm (W) x 13mm (H)
I was wondering if anybody knew if this case would fit on the board where the batteries are supposed to be placed? I saw on the pictures that there are some holes in that area I could fix the case with, but I first need to know if the case will fit, in other words if it doesn't get in the way for any other part.
Thanks

Re: Battery case size limit
I've used the 2-cell version of that same case and it is not really waterproof.
You might consider using a rechargeable cell sealed in shrink-wrap and some waterproof connectors like they use for bicycle lighting systems for recharging.
