Can we get a bit more detail? These look a like a pair of LS-SAFT 14500, in a kind of cell holder?

If so, any chance of dislodging the cells with some g-force?

It does look like another alternative.

I'd think a wrap or two of electrical tape would hold them in place....
My concern is will they fit? The battery holders I've been looking at really add on quite a bit of 'junk' that might make it too large for the battery compartment...

Personally, I made up one 3x9V pigtail and one of the spot welders... next thing you know I had 10 alkaline and lithium battery packs ready in a few hours of idle time... and believe you me... I'm an IT geek, I have zero real world mechanical skills.

Yes it's a pair of LS-SAFT 14500 in a cell holder.
The wires are solded on the cell holder (9v connector too large for the battery compartment)
Before put in the meg, i use electrical tape for wrapping it

Hello,

Any idea of the Mini-Molex reference of the connector on the battery side ?

Thank you.
