The OpenSCAD code

This is the OpenSCAD code that will end up in your final case .scad file:

module BatteryHolder_Cylindrical(diameter, length) {
    length = length/10 + 1;
    border = 3.5;
    bs = 1;
    grip=12;
    difference() {
        union() {
            difference() {
                cube([diameter+(2*bs), length+(2*border), diameter/2]);

                rotate([-90, 0, 0])
                translate([diameter/2+bs, -(diameter/2), border])
                cylinder(length, diameter/2, diameter/2);
            }

            translate([diameter/2+bs, 0, diameter/2])
            rotate([-90, 0, 0])
            cylinder(border, diameter/2, diameter/2);

            translate([diameter/2+bs, length+border, diameter/2])
            rotate([-90, 0, 0])
            cylinder(border, diameter/2, diameter/2);
        }

        translate([0, -0.005, diameter*0.75])
            cube([diameter+(2*bs), length+(2*border)+0.01, diameter/2]);

    }
