We are building a wildlife radio tag for seals. We have the outside
case constructed, but the space for the battery is in a square shape.
We would like to use a Silver oxide coin cell battery, but instead of
it being circular, are coin cells (button cells) available in the shape
of a square or rectangle?

Thanks.

not really. round cells fit in square holes though.

can you not fill the whole length of the tag fastener
with small button cells? Embedded in the plastic.
