Suggestions for a fast and cheap single 18650 holder?
It needs to be pretty slim since it needs to fit into the handle of a bug zapper. I don't want to solder anything to the battery as it gets swapped out and charged.
I'm going to order a cheapo one from china, but it will take a month to get here....

> use rubber band to hold washers to ends of battery
Or you could just use some masking tape if you don't need the wires to be removable.

my soldering is pretty bad, but I got it to work

3.7v vs 1.5v
in this case 2 AAs would work, but the 18650 would probably last longer
it was meant to have 2 Ds, but I have no idea the last time I had any

Don't buy Li-ion cells from eBay, especially not SomethingFire ones, they're complete garbage. Samsung or LG cells tend to be okay. Any battery being sold for less than $2 is going to be garbage too.
