I want to keep some NiMH rechargeable 9v batteries in my tool bag (well, my
meter bag, actually). I am currently running a double loop of electrical tape
around the entire battery to insulate the terminals.

I'd like to use something more durable (one battery has had a terminal peek
through the tape) and was thinking about something like a battery terminal
connector but made of insulating material like nylon (probably of some
cheaper plastic).

Does such a thing exist? I did web searches, but maybe my terminology isn't
spot-on...

Start harvesting the snap-on battery cords from dead electronics. *Cut
the wires off short (preferably inside the vinyl housing a bit). *Snap
them on -- there you are!

You can buy such cords, but the cheapest/fastest solution is to take
apart a dead battery and tape up the back side, with a bit of plastic
behind to prevent rubbing through -- the battery may have this anyway.

In my impoverished schooldays, no battery was ever thrown away without
salvaging the connectors.
