## Description

A slim 3×AAA battery holder with a built-in on/off switch, JST 2-pin connector, and an ergonomic belt clip. The series configuration outputs approximately 3.6–4.5V — a similar range to lithium-ion batteries — making it an ideal non-rechargeable alternative for 3.3V projects that use a JST battery connector. Uses a genuine JST connector with correct polarity, matching standard LiPo battery connections used on Adafruit and other development boards. The belt clip allows you to wear the battery pack for wearable electronics projects. Key Features On/Off Switch – Conveniently control power without disconnecting Genuine JST 2-Pin Connector – Correct polarity, smooth insertion and removal without catching Belt Clip – Attach the holder to clothing or straps for wearable projects Slim Form Factor – AAA cells keep the holder compact and lightweight Specifications Battery Type – 3× AAA (not included) Output (Alkaline) – 4.6V (new) to 3.3V (end of life), ~4.5V nominal Output (NiMH) – 3.7V (charged) to 2.7V (end of life), ~3.6V nominal Connector – JST PH 2-pin, centre-positive polarity Ideal For Wearable electronics and portable projects Drop-in replacement for LiPo batteries on JST-equipped boards Circuit Playground, Feather, and other Adafruit boards with JST battery input Projects where rechargeable batteries aren't required Package Contents 1× 3-Cell AAA Battery Holder with Switch, JST Connector, and Belt Clip Warning: Do not connect this holder to LiPo/Li-Ion charger boards — AAA batteries cannot be safely recharged via these chargers.
