Introducing the Adafruit Accessories 3xAAA Battery Holder with On/Off Switch - the perfect power solution for all your projects. This slim and compact battery holder is designed to connect three AAA batteries together in series, providing a reliable power source for a wide range of applications. Why did we choose this battery holder? Well, the output voltage of three AAA batteries (approximately 3.3-4.5V) falls within the same range as Lithium Ion/polymer (Li-Ion) batteries. So, if you have a 3.3V project with a 2-pin JST connector meant for a Li-Ion/Poly battery, this battery holder is the ideal choice.
Plus, it comes with an on/off switch for easy control of power. Please note that while these batteries are similar to Li-Ion/Poly batteries, they cannot be recharged like them. So, we advise against plugging this battery holder into one of our Li-Ion/Poly charger boards. This battery holder is compatible with any standard AAA battery, so you can easily find replacements or use rechargeable NiMH batteries for added convenience. For rechargeable NiMH batteries, the output voltage will range from approximately 3.7V with fully charged batteries to 2.7V at the end of their life, with a nominal voltage of 3.6V.
When using alkaline batteries, the output voltage will range from 4.6V with new batteries to 3.3V at the end of their life, with a nominal voltage of about 4.5V. This battery holder also features a genuine JST connector, ensuring a secure and reliable connection. The cable is 6 inches long, providing flexibility in your project setup. The box dimensions are 2.5 x 1.45 x 0.62 inches, making it easy to fit into your projects without taking up too much space. Power up your projects with the Adafruit Accessories 3xAAA Battery Holder with On/Off Switch.

The Adafruit Accessories 3xAAA Battery Holder is a decently made battery pack with an on/off switch and locking cover. It works fine as a power source and is easy to use. However, some users have found that the connector is a bit hard to insert or remove from certain devices. Additionally, it should be noted that this battery holder is not waterproof, despite its higher price compared to similar products. Overall, it serves its purpose well and would be a good choice for powering projects.
