It's very possible the unit has been redesigned, John, but, for the short 
period I owned one, there was a dinky twist lock in the center of the battery 
cover that latched it down.  Sorta.  But the hole for the latch would be hard 
to cover.

Sticky black electrical tape is good around battery-radio seals, though.  
Always use it --- now.
