You might take a look at Keystone Electronics' catalog and perhaps
give them a call and see if they have any ideas.

A battery clip such as the Digi-Key product mentioned above might
be used with a negative contact plate like
http://www.keyelco.com/products/specs/spec-smt-negcontact.asp
any perhaps you could mount one of these on each side of the PCB.
As someone suggested, perhaps a little “precision bend” in the
middle would allow adjustment for contact pressure on the cell.
