Anyone familiar with my products know that I take great care to make sure that what I design fits well, and if possible, is better than the original. After almost a dozen prototypes, I was able to make a cap that can be installed without a coin, just using your fingers.
After placing the battery into the M5, place the cap into position. Turn the cap slowly in a counterclockwise direction apply slight downward pressure on the cap. You will feel a slight "click" when the threads are in alignment. then turn clockwise and finger tighten till secure.
Because the cap is plastic it will not deform/damage your camera body threads like the original Leica battery cap has been known to do.
Below is the "AI" generated description for my cap. I decided to just leave it in the description because I was surprised on how well it turned out.
