A slim, open-top 2×AA battery holder with a genuine JST PH connector. Two AA batteries in series provide approximately 3V — ideal for powering low-voltage electronics projects, Adafruit boards, and microcontrollers with JST PH battery inputs.
The JST PH connector polarity matches Adafruit's Li-Ion/LiPo batteries and 2-pin JST cables, so it plugs straight into compatible boards without rewiring. The genuine JST connector ensures a smooth, secure fit that won't catch or tear.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
- JST PH
- A small keyed plug-and-socket connector with 2 mm pin spacing, often used for low-power electronics connections. You need the correct JST PH cable, and its current rating limits how much power should be passed through it.
- LiPo
- A LiPo (lithium polymer) battery is a rechargeable lithium battery widely used in portable projects because it is light and compact. LiPo cells need correct charging circuitry and careful handling to stay safe, so equipment that supports LiPo generally includes charging or protection hardware suited to that battery type.
- pH
- A measure of how acidic or alkaline a liquid is, on a scale where 7 is neutral. For a water monitoring kit, pH tells you about water chemistry and whether the included probe matches the range and accuracy your project needs.
