It's easier for newbies if you give them the www.micro-tools.com url.
They have nylon, molded and machined, slugs to replace the 2CR5 battery
for bench work. They have pigtail leads and would do marvelously for
designing a pocketable case that holds some Lithium AA's, or at minimum
get your 2CR5 in there for warmth in cold weather shooting.
Do watch out for overvoltage, current capacity, etc. There have been
previous posts about this, including but not limited to the engineer who
was (sniffle) making us a battery holding vertical trigger equipmed
machined aluminium base and grip for the (P)Z-1(p).
