regarding connectors at 90 degrees to cable, just fill the connector internally with solder and solder cable flat to the top of the connector

lol, living up to your user name

Just look for low profile 4mm bullet connectors. They have a proper face to solder against.

Unless I need it to be low profile then I prefer this method as well as it gives you a bigger area to grab hold of the plug when pulling them out of the batteries.....

Another good tip if using the corally plugs is to use some side cutters to cut a V shape out of the side so you can semi low profile the height of them

Notching the side is a far better option than filling it with solder. I've got some notched ones, I've also made "handles" out of sugru. They are quite useful.
