Default Best solder free electrical connection

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.


I would be most surprised if they were chromed. Most likely a thin nickel
plate
to prevent oxidation. Solder will work fine. That's why they put the hole
for a wire.


Solder it.
