@ukracer did you manage a test print at all?
Just trying to gauge where best to position the Bosch bit best in relation to the Ferrex bit:
Also, if you get a minute, take a good photo of the top of the Ferrex battery. Need to know what side the + & - are. The 2 outer blades on the Ferrex almost line up with the two inners on the Ferrex which should make blades simple. Sods Law it'll be opposite to the Bosch! I've incorporated a little + sign on the Bosch bit for a start:

Yes mate I did. I thought I would not pester you over the weekend. 
It's almost perfect...in fact it might be perfect if I print it standing up. The clip does not quite engage. But I suspect the top of the angle where it meets the angle on the battery might need tweaking.

@ukracer , I'll have to be guided by you as to what mods to make to the model. Some dimns below showing the "slope" in relation to the recess for the clip. I'm a bit stuffed without a battery to hand. I measured the angle off the duff tool I have here at 40deg, as best as, with one of the kids protractors...I might have had a beer...looks a bit too steep maybe?
Sorry I did not check photo...

Must be my phone, still can't see it clearly! Just confirm L to R:
B1-, B2-, T, B1+, B2+
Looks like + & - are on different sides. No bother, can figure a way around that...I think...
Yeah that is correct....I thought damn when I saw it. Lol

I can sort that. Just have a look at that angle issue and I'll mod the CAD.
possibly not quite that but Angles get me confused though. lol
i would guess the print only needs to go further in by 2 or 3 mm .
should click in at that.
BTW it does have a battery check button I think you asked about that before?

Just emailed you the revised .stl. It's got the 002 suffix.
I've lessened the slope from 40 to 35 degrees. It SHOULD allow the battery to slide in another nom. 2.6mm.
If you're happy to keep printing 'em I'll keep drawing 'em!
Ah, the joy of prototyping!

Do we need the T connection on the Ferrex battery to connect to the middle connection on the Bosch battery?
Guessing T is for "temperature" sensing maybe?
One would like to think the technology between manufacturers is similar with regards to this middle pin.

Looking to do the +/- "crossover" something like this. Might move the recesses for the 1mm copper strip to the other face to make printing easier:
Edit: Just noticed...that's weird...2nd rendering above has detail/recesses missing. It does that sometimes. RAM issue maybe? I copied 2nd pic from the first pic too.

I'd think better without soldering if you can do it

The Makita battery to Einhell adapter just gets soldered at these joins. Super neat.

I reckon an adapter would be needed. I've mirrored the Ferrex one to make them easier to compare:
Ferrex, Active Energy:
