Insert the pack into the compartment wires first, leaving enough room on the wire end for the wires to come around the end of the pack, then up through the existing wire holes.

Nice! Give this a try Dave, worked for me on my first try. Snug, but that's what you want. My one concern is that it seems like it might be stressful on the connections/wires having such a tight bend right next to the case pressed tightly against the battery compartment.

How long have you run your batteries like this sikeston? Any issues with kinking, pinching, or yanking a wire?

Inside the pack, all the wires are soldered to a common pcb board. In other words, they support each other. I don't think connection stress will be an issue.

Limp Silicone wire can handle bends like this. If you prevent the pack from shifting around inside the compartment, you will also hinder/prevent abrasive wear.

I've ran them 3 or 4 times like this and they still look like new. Good Performers too.
