If possible could you consider a similar assembly, with double high quality pogo pins on + and - battery terminals ?

The prongs that smartphones such as the Jolla 1, Fairphone2, etc. use tend to bend, break, or (in my phone's case) break their springs quite easily. This leads to spurious reboots whenever a bad contact causes a transient power loss.
The downside is that that the more custom the battery is, the harder it is to get replacement in case it's not producted anymore. Just check this topic.
