I’m trying to find out if there is an easy solution to this. I could not find any battery holders like this. This would be the bast solution

Also, another idea I had, is if one could stick a conducting plate on the nonterminal side of the battery compartment of the calculator so that the batteries could be imsertd right into the compartment directly.(with correct polarities ,right directions)

This manufacturer I found does a plethora of battery terminals and plates (they also do cell holders too)

They are stocked by most of the big distributors (Mouser, Digi , RS and Farnell etc).
