Battery Cell Holder V1

implemented unverified

Battery cell holder: an N x M grid of blind pockets sized from the cell table (18650 / 21700 / AA / AAA / CR123), each with a retaining mouth lip the cell snaps past and a contact slot through the floor (tab access, spot-weld, spring seat). Electrical contacts stay external hardware — the holder owns the honest mechanics.

Built from a real example — orbit to inspect.
