Product Overview
Enclosed four-cell AAA battery holder designed for portable electronics, custom hobby enclosures, and prototype power delivery. Configured for four standard 1.5V AAA cells in series, it provides a nominal 6V DC output (or 4.8V DC when loaded with 1.2V NiMH rechargeables). An integrated ON/OFF slide switch breaks positive circuit continuity directly at the enclosure, eliminating the need to wire a separate panel-mount power switch. The slide-off lid secures the cells in place and includes a molded retention hole for a securing screw.
Key Features
- Holds four standard AAA (UM-4, R03) size batteries in series
- Nominal output of 6.0V DC with standard alkaline cells or 4.8V DC with NiMH cells
- Integrated two-position slide switch clearly molded with OFF and ON indicators
- Color-coded 26 AWG wire leads (red positive, black negative) with stripped and tinned wire ends
- Removable sliding cover plate with textured thumb grip and screw retention hole
- Nickel-plated contact plates and coil springs to prevent cell shifting
- Molded CE and polarity markings inside and on housing exterior
Applications
- Powers handheld microcontroller rigs, robotics, and Arduino or Raspberry Pi Pico projects requiring portable 5V-6V supply lines
- Replaces damaged or corroded battery bays in battery-operated test equipment, toys, and portable radios
- Supplies clean switched DC power on maker workbenches for breadboard experiments and sensor testing without an external bench supply
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this battery holder output 1.5V or 6V?
The internal contacts connect the four AAA cells in series, producing a nominal 6.0V DC with standard 1.5V alkaline batteries or 4.8V DC with rechargeable 1.2V NiMH batteries.
Can the cover be secured with a screw?
Yes. The sliding lid features a dedicated counter-sunk mounting hole designed to take a small retaining screw, preventing the compartment from sliding open during mobile use.
How are the batteries oriented inside the case?
The compartment base features clearly molded polarity symbols showing alternating cell orientation so each spring terminal aligns with the negative battery terminal. The price per piece drops at each step in the price-break table on this page.
Simple switched power in an enclosed shell that tucks neatly into a project box. Drop in four AAA cells, flip the slider, and bring your portable build to life.
