A unique housing (104) of a portable radio transceiver (100) is described that takes advantage of the heat sinking, electrical shielding and structural characteristics of a battery. The unique electronic circuitry housing (104) includes a battery as a structural element thereof. In one illustrated housing (104), a stick battery (210) is attached to the side of a transmitter printed circuit panel (213). A logic printed circuit panel (212) and a receiver printed circuit panel (214) are positioned above and below the transmitter printed circuit panel (213), respectively, and are held together by interlocking side rails (206,207). The electronic circuitry housing of the present invention may be advantageously utilized in a variety of applications where electronic circuitry is operated from a battery.
