Battery Holder

[bill2654]

Im looking for a 9 volt battery holder with terminals, that I can mount in my electronics bay. Anyone know where I can get one? The radio shack here where I live does'nt have any. No plastic! It needs to be secure and strong. Thanks, Bill

I knoiw you said no plastic, but I've been using these for years: http://www.alliedelec.com/search/pro...px?SKU=8391295

Never, ever had a problem.
Whether you use metal or plastic you still need to have positve battery retention.
ie:zip ties or similar

That's absolutely right, and while some may feel otherwise, I skip the holder entirely and just ziptie the battery to the sled, connected with a leaded clip. That way, even if the battery tears off the sled, there's some chance it'll stay connected, whereas if it pops out of a holder, you're SOL.

But YMMV, and many people prefer holders anyway.

Thanks for everyones help. I ordered the one from newtons. Most of the other suggested sites had a minimum order amount or sky high shipping costs so I settled for the plastic on from Newtons. Thanks again, Bill

Those are the same one as I linked to but 10cents less.

So it is..lol...But if you order 500+ from your source you will really save a lot!

Well, I have that many rockets, so NEED that many battery holders.
