A slim 2×AAA battery holder with a built-in on/off switch and genuine JST PH connector. Two AAA batteries in series provide approximately 3V — ideal for powering low-voltage electronics projects, microcontrollers, and portable builds.
The JST PH connector polarity matches Adafruit's Li-Ion/LiPo batteries and 2-pin JST cables, plugging straight into boards with JST PH battery inputs. This is also a great replacement for the battery packs that come with micro:bit boards — the on/off switch means you don't have to unplug the connector to power down.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 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 lithium polymer rechargeable battery commonly used in portable electronics projects. It matters because LiPo batteries need correct charging circuitry and care, and this board includes hardware intended for 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.
