What's this made out of?

[RedArmy]

I'm making a bill of materials for our project for reverse engineering and we need to be able to state the composition of the different parts of the product (R/C car). It needs to be pretty specific, like you can't just say "plastic", you have to say polyethylene. Right now were trying to figure out what those springs that hold the battery in are called and what they're made out of. It's your typical spring that you would find in any portable device. It's only real purpose is to keep the battery in and to complete the circuit.

Thanks for any help, this project sucks.

Edit: They are called plate springs IIRC.

Editx2 or perhaps you are looking for the term Compression springs ?
