This is a battery box customizer which allows for the creation of battery boxes for most cylindrical batteries, including AA, AAA, C, D and 18650s.
For terminals, I use roofing flashing purchased from a local hardware store. I just buy a piece about 1 foot long by whatever width they have, sand off the zinc coating and cut it into strips 9mm wide by 38mm long, then use the terminal jig to shape them as shown in the pictures. The terminal jig is also the right size to cut the terminal soldering tab to length. I just cut it into approximately thirds from the bottom, then cut off the side third on each side.
