Battery holder for 6× AA R6 rechargeable batteries with 9 V switch, housing with cover

6x AA battery holder with switch and cover

6x AA battery holder is designed for convenient and safe storage of six AA cells. The batteries inside the holder are wired in series, which adds the voltage of each cell while keeping the same capacity. It is a popular power source for electronic projects, including for Arduino.

The module has a built-in ON/OFF switch, which makes it easy to control power without disconnecting wires. Another advantage is a lockable cover that protects the cells from falling out and mechanical damage. The leads are 2 wires with stripped insulation, which greatly simplifies mounting and connection to various devices.
