Series or Parralel?

Series - some plastic plumbing tube if you can find the right size. Canibalise some springs from AA battery holder and make end stops as best you can again you may find some pipe joining plumbing bits.

Plastic pipe would be the easiest. This guy has a nice picture set of how he made a 4-battery holder, but there is no reason why it couldn't be used for two.

I made something very similar for holding 4 CRC123As, even though I only use 2 of them. That way if I add another light I don't have to make another holder.

The clips are available on the link below, as well as lots of other places on the Internet.

Maybe this will give you some ideas.

The easiest way to make your own holdder would probably be to add contacts to one of battery holder boxes from DX or Kaidomain

you could wire it up serial or parallel, in this case its parallel.

I have added some aluminium foil bunched up into the bottom of the tins to improve contact.
