Subject: [FlyRotary] OFF TOPIC - electronics enclosure

Hello all,
 
Guys, I am lost in the internet!
I have a Headset Inc. ANR kit, which is working outstanding, BUT the weak link is the "power-box", a battery-case which houses a 9-V battery. I have a second box that also encloses a small electronics board, that supplies power from a panel source and also includes a 9-V battery. The connectors are plug&screw (a nut secures the connection...) but it always comes loose.
 
a) I tried to find something on the net, but I will be a really old man until I find something!!
Are there any electronic gurus on this newsletter, that can point me in the right direction for a 8 AA battery enclosure or a 2 times 9-V battery enclosure, that also has some space for circuitry?
 
b) Any ideas for a simple and save plug connector for the power cable? I thought of regular airplane style headset-plugs, the smaller ones (are they speakers or mike?  ....don't remember, I fly helicopters - only 1 plug!!).
Any reason, why they cannot/should not be used as power supply plugs?
 
Thanks for your time folks!
