I was thinking to enlarge the holes in the tabs, and use pop rivets.
Sadly, the battery holder pictured won't take .250 push on connectors,
I don't think. The metal is chromed, so solder won't stick very well,
it's also likely steel. There is no really good way to make the
connection.

Wire through the hole, twist the wire, and solder the wire to itself
is about the best answer I can find.

What about threading tiny self-tapping screws into the holes in the
rivets that connect the lugs to the contacts?
