Dispensing with the need for a battery holder makes this handling easier as well.

If you will use AA cells, you should only use flat-top cells, not the normal grocery-store AA type with button tops. The original cases, and the intended spring/contact solution was designed for, and only operates properly with the flat-top types; as Jonas alludes to here, the common variety are too tall, don't fit the cases, and can cause removal problems and even damage. Include "flat-top" when you search for cells, they are easy to find online.
