You'd need to tape (or, preferably, heatshrink) 2 of those together and solder wires to them instead. Don't solder directly to the battery though; some batteries have been known to explode when exposed to excessive heat from a soldering iron. |
I found this battery too, but the pins are the wrong orientation and there should be 2 on each side. I don’t really think I can be bothered with making up a battery pack (I’m not the best with a soldering iron!) and I’m not sure that it would fit into the horn if I did. I think it’s all too much trouble for a feeble chirp that no-one would pay any attention to.
