Plug In Bit Char-G-er
OK, I've done a write-up and how-to for this project. You can either get to it through the site normally: Bit Cal-B
...Or you can go directly to it if you don't want to see the rest of the site: Project 1
Enjoy

So long as you don't count the controller that I canibalized, the 3V Plug-in Adapter is really your biggest cost at about $15.
The rest of the components totaled under $10.
However, considering that an 8-pack of AA Batteries is about $7-8, it'll pay for itself in a few months.

Great minds think alike
I have a very similar idea that I have not executed yet.
I am going to put a battery holder inside a project box as you did, then give myself the option of charging from the batteries or hooking it up to my peak charger. I also want to be able to charge the batteries while they are inside the box.
I had plans for a timer, but I have basically scrapped the idea.
