Technical Features & Construction
- Single Cell Configuration: Designed to hold one standard AA cylindrical battery.
- Open-Type Battery Housing: Provides an accessible battery compartment for convenient cell installation and replacement.
- Pre-Soldered Wire: Comes with an attached 110mm open-end wire for electrical connection.
- Integrated Mounting Holes: Supports mechanical installation using suitable mounting hardware.
- Plastic Construction: Features a black plastic housing for battery support and positioning.
- Compact Form Factor: The 57.5 × 17 × 14mm body is suitable for space-conscious electronic designs.
- Lightweight Design: Approximate weight of 6g per holder makes it suitable for lightweight assemblies.
- Simple Circuit Integration: Open-end wires allow connection to compatible electronic circuits and power input terminals.
Battery Compatibility & Electrical Configuration
This holder is designed for one AA battery. The nominal output voltage depends on the chemistry of the installed cell:
- AA Alkaline Battery: One 1.5V alkaline cell provides approximately 1.5V nominal voltage.
- AA NiMH Rechargeable Battery: One standard 1.2V NiMH cell provides approximately 1.2V nominal voltage.
- AA NiCd Rechargeable Battery: One standard 1.2V NiCd cell provides approximately 1.2V nominal voltage.
The holder provides a single-cell battery mounting arrangement. The connected circuit must be designed for the voltage and current capability of the selected AA battery. A higher output voltage requires an appropriate external power-conversion or battery configuration circuit.
Wire Connection & Mounting Design
The battery holder comes with a 110mm pre-soldered open-end wire, allowing it to be integrated into compatible electronic circuits without requiring the user to solder wires directly to the battery contacts. The exposed wire ends can be connected to suitable circuit terminals, connectors or power input points.
The holder also incorporates mounting holes for mechanical installation. This helps secure the battery compartment within a suitable enclosure or project structure, reducing unwanted movement during normal operation.
- Wire Length: 110mm pre-attached connection wire.
- Open-End Termination: Suitable for connection to compatible circuit terminals.
- Mounting Support: Integrated mounting holes for mechanical fixing.
- Enclosure Integration: Suitable for installation inside custom electronic housings and project structures.

Connection & Operating Recommendations
- Use the Correct Battery Size: Install one standard AA cylindrical battery that fits the holder correctly.
- Check Battery Chemistry: Select alkaline, NiMH or NiCd cells according to the voltage requirements of the connected circuit.
- Observe Battery Polarity: Match the positive and negative battery terminals with the holder’s contact arrangement.
- Connect the Open-End Wires Correctly: Identify the positive and negative wires before connecting them to the circuit. Do not assume wire colour or polarity without checking.
- Use Suitable Circuit Voltage: Design the connected circuit for approximately 1.5V with an alkaline cell or 1.2V with a standard NiMH/NiCd cell.
- Secure the Holder: Use suitable mounting hardware through the mounting holes to keep the holder firmly positioned.
- Provide Wire Strain Relief: Route and secure the wires to reduce mechanical stress on the soldered connections.
- Protect Exposed Connections: Insulate open wire ends and electrical joints to prevent accidental short circuits.
- Consider the Operating Environment: Keep the assembly within the applicable temperature limits of the holder and installed battery.
- Use Suitable Power Conversion When Required: If the application requires a higher voltage, use an appropriately designed boost converter or power-management circuit.
Important: A single AA cell does not provide 9V. Its nominal voltage is approximately 1.5V for alkaline chemistry and 1.2V for standard NiMH/NiCd rechargeable chemistry. The holder is a mechanical and electrical battery mounting component; it does not increase the battery voltage.
