Sure you can get a gater clip on the positive but not the negative.
But maybe a really big gater clip would work..But lets say there isn't
one.

Here's the idea.. Use magnets.. :P
Maybe it's an old trick but I haven't read about it yet or seen anyone
do it...

I have plated magnets. I was able to solder wires to the magnets..

Here's the arrangement..

------wire----[magnet][AAA battery][magnet]---wire----

Anybody done this before?

Yup. A couple of years ago I made an LED flashlight
using a single cell & magnets for the contacts. I'll
post a picture on abse.
