Had the same issue with our Philips radio yesterday.

It uses 6 C type batteries (9V total).... I have only a couple...

And so, I inserted the 2 C type batteries in the middle, and four (2 on each side) AA type batteries... And filled-up the spaces with the battery packing material....

Instant radio...

With the genset on,- we have radio,- but not TV(cable service) as the provider has no electricity, too...
