I only had some 10mm ones handy, and my USB battery is 21mm thick (and the solder pins protrude about 1mm from the bottom of the Crickit's circuit board. Depending on the size of your batery you'll need probably some 25mm standoffs, or make some out of long 2.5mm bolts and some copper or aluminium tubing (which you can get at a hobby store or Pete's Emporium)
