I have to connect this AAA battery holder to a toy. Although I have a

melting all the plastic around the contacts before I can get
anything to
stick to the tabs. (The part of the tabs with the small hole will bend
upwards giving some clearence).

My immediate plan is to poke a few strands of wire through the holes
in the
connection tabs twist and then apply some nail varnish to stop it
unwinding.
Since its a toy it does not need to be totally foolproof.
If anyone had any ideas that were a bit more sophisticated I would be
gratefull. Thanks.
If you are familiar with faston connectors, you can trim the
terminals with scissors or wire cutters so a connector will
slip on to them. The connectors are available in many sizes
with the 1/4" being the most common. I believe The Shack,
formally Radio Shack carries several sizes. Here's a link
to a manufacturer that produces many types so you can see
what I'm referring to:

Excuse me, but is the OP a Septic or English ?
If he/she/it is English, it's bugger all use pointing them at Septic
outlets, is it?

Septic tank = yank
duh - colonials
Um, the cultural education is nice but what's it got to do
with electrical connections to a battery holder? Bizarre is
fun but at least I try to keep my jokes within the subject
matter being discussed. 8-)
Did you not read my post about 10 lines above ?
I'll type it again without sarcasm or ****taking
