Obijuan’s use of captive nuts plus bolts to connect to the batteries is just brilliant.  The nut/bolt system will hold the battery in place tightly, provide electrical contact, and give you a place to connect a wire securely.  And, if necessary, you could always solder the wire directly to the bolt.

    I made a similar project a couple summers ago.
    I made fake batteries with hollow centers, so you can use power adapters with your battery-only devices.
    These work great with my Canon 430ex flash that doesn’t include a DC adapter!
    I only got around to making AA and D batteries.
