what is available instead of a cdrom to be used in that spot

They make adapters for SSD's to be put in there, as long as the interface for your disc drive is SATA.

Something like this:
Newegg.com - SilverStone SST-TS06W Plastic with diamond shape exterior 2.5" Black USB 2.0 External USB Slim Optical drive Enclosure with 2.5" SSD/HDD Conversion Tray (White)

what about a battery?

are all laptops compatible with slim case battery
I was looking through some but im not sure they are compatible

Any battery that would fit in there would have to be a soft pack, like your cell phone, and likely wouldnt be very long lasting or safe due to the size restrictions.

I would use it for a SATA SSD.
