Get your black wire (Male-Male dupont wire). Hook it up in the negative face of the lithium battery as illustrated. Then, hook the red wire to the positive face of the lithium battery.

Warning:
Avoid touching the negative wire to positive wire or vice versa. Touching both end of wires will cause short circuit and might be cause injury or burn.

LED and Resistor for Testing

Prepare the simple setup LED-Resistor circuit in your small size breadboard to enable us to test if your battery holder will work.

Connect Them All!

Connect the power wires to the breadboard to light up your basic setup. Follow the picture for more details. If your battery holder doesn't work the possible problem is in your dupont wires. Try to test your dupont wires if it has no issue in conducting electricity.

Enjoy!
