Early ones used zebra pressure connection, these days the 12C uses a soldered connection. You can open up your calculator to have a look. (There is a screw under each rubber foot.)

There definitely ARE different LCD connection types, at least early and late style. Find a cheap donor HP-12C with the same type of battery contacts as your 16C and you should have a matching part (some have 1 spring, some have contacts on both sides, etc.)
