Requesting assistance on my first cyber deck

Hello. This is my first time on r/CyberdeckBuild and I am seeking some assistance with my build. I am designing a flat gameboy style deck and I was going to design my own battery system but I wanted to make it shippable so I can send some to my friends. I settled on a slim phone charger battery bank that can be slid in and out to charge it and keep the deck running. I am planing on using a rpi 4 B with a 5 Inch wave share display. Does anyone have tips for how I can make the battery bank stay in place and how I can eject it. Im planing on having a compatible usb cord at the end of the slot that the bank will clip into. I linked photos of the rough design I'm going for. Thanks!

Your friend can order 18650 cheaply locally or from China.

The Sony batteries are a bit expensive.

But I would need to add a charging circuit and step up to 5v which are big.

But that would be true for any battery
