My apologies, missed that from your first post as read quickly and saw the reference to the cover. Why bother with one with a lid if you're fitting in the battery compartment? You might find the angled surface mount type referred to within this thread as being easier to connect/disconnect as the actual socket can be mounted to face towards the compartment door.

------------- the only silly question is the one you do not ask.
