handcontroller for Meade microfocus unit - small issue

well i have a small issue with my meade zero shift focuser. i forgot to remove the batteries - what an idiot.

So the price i paid for this is massive corrosion of the battery area. so much so that the wires corroded off. i had a bugger of a time looking for a replacement 8 battery unit for it, jaycar didn't have one that fitted so i found one on the net - still waiting for it but i was wondering if this is a common thing for these. i also note there is no on off switch so do i make one?
