I've tested this mod with sony vtc4's, vtc5's, and LG hg2's. The only thing that's left to test with are Sammy 30q's and 25r's. The 30q's being the preferred battery of our Australian friend. 
I have some Sammies headed my way, as I type this. There really isn't a lot of room in here to play with. If a battery were 1mm longer than the ones I've tested with, it could mean that the cap won't go all the way on and sit flush. Unacceptable!
If the Sammies are any longer, I will have to skinny something up to account for it. Most likely candidate will be the bridge. I can always pull the silver negative contacts and take a little off the heads if need be.
I'm shooting for snug on these things. No battery rattle, without the need for o-rings to keep the batteries in place. No room for 'em anyways. Things really are that tight in there...
So, in the meantime,....I have begun the smooving process. Can't go too smoove, tho. Needs some tooth for the finish that he's having put on her.
Here's where she sits, at the moment...
