Power / Battery Holders

This is a 9V battery pack with on/off switch and a pre-attached 5.5mm/2.1mm center-positive barrel plug. Use this to battery-power your Arduino (or other electronic projects) - it's ready to go out of the box! Battery & screw not included.

I found these high-quality battery clips. They're molded plastic so they won't tear like cheap clips, and they cover the battery terminals to prevent shorts. Comes with a 5.5mm/2.1mm center-positive barrel connector, assembled! Battery not included.

This tiny coin cell battery holder is ideal for small portable or wearable projects. It holds two 20mm coin cells (2032 or CR2032 are the most popular size) in series to generate 6V nominal. (If you want only 3V, we suggest sticking a crumpled piece of tin foil in one of the slots.) 20mm coin cells are popular as they are used in keychain lights, so they are easy to...

Make a portable power brick with plenty of juice! Use Alkaline AA's for a 9V 3000-4000mAh power supply, or rechargeable NiMH for 2000mAh 7.5V supply. Either one is good for running electronics that have a 5V voltage regulator (thus requiring a 7V+ supply). Will last about 10 times longer than a 9V Plug is 5.5mm outer diameter, 2.1mm inner diameter, center positive....

Make a portable power brick with plenty of juice! Use Alkaline AA's for a 12V 3000-4000mAh power supply, or rechargeable NiMH for 2000mAh 9.6V supply. Either one is good for running electronics that have a 5V voltage regulator (thus requiring a 7V+ supply) or perhaps some motors or solenoids. Perfect for portable Arduinos, motors, solenoids, 12V LED strips, etc. An...

This battery holder is by far the easiest way to add a battery to a small wearable project. By coincidence, there are two small 1mm diameter holes in the metal connection tabs, just large enough for a #5 or smaller needle to pass through. One tab connects to common ground (negative) and the other tab is +3 Volts. This holder is meant to be used with Lithium CR2032...

Make a nice portable power pack with this 4 x AA battery holder. It fits any alkaline or rechargeable AA batteries in series.

We now have 0.1" headers on ends of these cables so you can plug them into a breadboard or headers with ease! Of course, you can...

This battery holder connects 3 AAA batteries together in series for powering all kinds of projects. We spec'd these out because the box is slim, and 3 AAA's add up to about 3.3-4.5V, a very similar range to Lithium Ion/polymer (Li-Ion) batteries and have an on-off switch. That makes them ideal for use with 3.3V projects that have a 2-pin JST connector meant for one...

When you need a portable 12V power pack, this big holder will do the job! The holder will store 8 AA batteries end to end, to give approximately 12VDC output with up to 2 amp peak current draw. We like this configuration in particular because it holds the batteries securely, even if being bumped/moved around. This would make a good power source for EL panels, 12V...

Simple but effective - this sewable breakout board has a CR2032 coin cell battery holder soldered on, an on/off switch and 0.1" pitch breakout pins for easy connecting.
