I assume your soda bottles are a very similar design to our over here. There is a flange just below the threads and if you cut the neck off the bottle immediately below the flange, it provide a flat surface to glue the necks onto the battery top. If you file two flat on the flange on opposite sides of the neck, you can just squeeze six caps onto the battery. I like the 5-cell 10V battery look because it raises some interesting questions from the more observant onlookers. I heard one guy telling his mate that the original Cobras had 10V batteries fitted.
