The supplied screws have about 0.1 inches of thread. The battery holders use up most of that save about one thread to screw into the bottom cover. Not enough. I would like about 0.15 or 0.16 inches which is what I used. Works great. Uses all the threads in the bottom cover.
Small issue, but frustrating finding suitable 2-56 screws...any one like to try finding them at your local Best Hardware store? 4-40, yes, 2-56 no!
