A battery device, comprising:
- a main body capable of holding a plurality of individual battery cells, the main body having a slot on each side;
- a first and second electrical connectors wherein each connector is placed into the slot in each side of the main body;
- a bottom port on which the main body rests, the bottom port having a first and second legs;
- a first side portion that fits between a first side of the main body and the first leg of the bottom port and having a plurality of posts that are capable of pressing the first electrical connector against an end of each individual battery cell;
- a second side portion that fits between a second side of the main body and the second leg of the bottom port and having a plurality of posts that are capable of pressing the second electrical connector against a second end of each individual battery cell;
- and
- wherein the first and second side portions mechanically compress each individual battery cell when both the first and second side portions are connected to the main body.

A battery device, comprising:
- a main body that holds a plurality of individual battery cells, the main body having a receptacle on each side;
- an electrical connector that is placed into each receptacle in the main body and forms an electrical connection between each anode of each individual battery cell and each cathode of each individual battery cell, respectively;
- a bottom port on which the main body rests, the bottom port having a first and second legs;
- a first side portion that fits between a first side of the main body and the first leg;
- a second side portion that fits between a second side of the main body and the second leg;
- and
- each of the first and second side portions having a plurality of posts adjacent to each location of the individual battery cell in the main body, wherein each post in the first and second side portions adjacent to a particular individual battery cell presses the anode and cathode of the particular individual battery cell against the respective electrical connector.
