ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A battery receptacle is provided for selectively and alternately receiving a lithium battery (11) which has positive and negative terminals (13) on a first end face (9), and alkaline-manganese batteries (21), each of which includes positive (22) and negative (23) terminals on opposite first (8) and second (7) end faces thereof, respectively. The battery receptacle incorporates a receptacle housing (2) having a stationary wall or base (19, 31) for supporting one end of the lithium or alkaline- manganese batteries, and which also incorporates a spacer (4, 32) which is positioned around the alkaline-manganese batteries when they are positioned within the receptacle housing, as well as a lid (6, 33) which is adapted to selectively open and close the receptacle housing. The spacer is rotatably supported by the receptacle housing such that when the alkaline-manganese batteries are positioned within the receptacle, the spacer will be maintained about them, and when the lithium battery is positioned within the housing, the spacer will be positioned over the battery in the housing. Both the stationary wall and the lid have electrode contacts which correspond to the terminals of the alkaline-manganese batteries. Either the stationary wall or base (31), or the spacer (4), is provided with electrode contacts (4a, 36) which correspond to the terminals of the lithium battery to establish contact therewith terminals facing downwardly or its positive and negative terminals facing upwardly, respectively.
