A battery holder for "normal" cylindrical batteries (like AA) is easy if you
already have a PC board.  Just get battery clips from Keystone and put them
at the appropriate distance for your battery.  The clips are held in place
by the PC board, and they hold the ends of the battery quite firmly in place
while making contact with them.  Another nice feature is that the same part
works for all batteries of the same diameter.  The length is just a function
of how you lay out the clips on the PC board.  They are cheap too.  I've
used the AA clips a bunch of times.
