Best surface mount AA battery clips?

I'm leaning toward these:

but I'm wondering whether there might be anything better.

They sure are a better looking option to this, but they still cost 10x more 😀

Yeah, I have some like those, but the wires are total crap. I end up soldering on better wires, which leaves me wondering why I bought them at all.

Because everybody likes to order cheap ass stuff ever now and then 😂

Wow! I ordered these on October 12:

and I received them today via China Post. How is that even possible?

Probably custom took its time to clear them.
