Also check out spring pins for battery contacts. They tend to be cheaper and more robust. Here's the general category page, in Digi-Key: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/rectangular-conne...

Oh I think I've seen these on a couple Chinese handhelds.

Currently the device uses a JST connector, but I'll definitely take a look at this.

Thanks!

I meant instead of the pogo pins, but if you do have a custom shell, then it is also a more convenient way to connect the battery, too.
