If the BAT+ and BAT- pads were connected to edge-card leaf style rectangular pads, could a 9V battery connector of style shown below be soldered to eliminate the 2-wire 9V battery connector? I don't know if practical but sure seems like a big plus if the finished product fit in the space where the 9V Alkaline fits now. Sorry for the horrible 3-D rendering!
