Here's another tip I forgot to mention. Perhaps common knowledge but you can dis-assemble some 9V batteries and recover the unique 2-contact 9V battery connector as shown in the above photo. Google "disassemble 9V battery"; most people do this to get the 6 1.5V AAAA (yes, quadruple A) batteries but I do this with used batteries to get the clip to make 9V-powered widgets like this.
