This may be a long shot, but the case modding community is the only place I could think to find such a specific service.
I am looking for a means or a company which can produce CMOS-type batteries with custom etching. I say CMOS-type because the only real requirement is that they be that relative size and thickness (like this, via wikipedia), not that they actually be functional as a CMOS battery. I don't necessarily need them to even be functional as a battery, it's the shape that counts here. Though, admittedly, having functional batteries would be more desirable.
So far I cannot find a producer of said batteries with blank faces, nor can I find a shop that specifically notes that it can etch batteries. It has been suggested that I buy batteries, have them smoothed, and find a place that does pet tag etching. This is the path I am currently pursuing. Instructions on how I might smooth or etch these batteries myself are appreciated, but I'm a bit concerned about the safety of both.
As these are meant to be gifts, handed out as if a coin. I am looking to keep the process as low-cost as possible. But, I'm not objected to investing in some equipment to make it happen, as if it works I'd like to make more of them from time to time.
*edit*
It would be reasonable to have simply the shells of the batteries, without the chemical contents. Perhaps I should be looking for a metal caster?
