This is too wild!! I love it! It would have been even more cool if you had
used some high-powered equipment, like a Milwaukee Sawzall instead of the
hacksaw....
For your valiant efforts, may I suggest to the King of Newtdom, that ye be
dubbed:
"NewtGyver"

From the ugly, but it works dept. I've been modifying consumer battery
cages to go into my 2100.

Line it up so that negative points towards the negative spring.
Remove material from the top using a big heated coarse round file (or your
weapon of choice) to cut the divot at the top.
Cut the two grooves on the other side using a hacksaw to fit the locators
in the newton.

All done. It should slide in, and stay firmly. I have attached a loop of
string so I can pull it out easily. It's really easy to make these
rechargable in the newton as well, as the hacksaw grooves line it up with
the charging contacts.
