{"title":"4 x AA Battery Holder with On/Off Switch","handle":"4-x-aa-battery-holder-with-on-off-switch","url":"/products/4-x-aa-battery-holder-with-on-off-switch","description":"A 4×AA battery holder with a snap-on cover and built-in on/off switch. Holds four AA batteries in series, outputting a nominal 6V (alkaline) or 4.8V (NiMH), making it a convenient portable power source for 5V microcontroller projects.\n\nWith alkaline batteries, you may want to add a 1N4001 diode in series to drop the voltage from ~6V to ~5.3V for 5V-sensitive projects. NiMH rechargeables provide a naturally suitable voltage range for most 5V circuits without additional regulation.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nOn/Off Switch – Built-in slide switch for convenient power control\n\nSnap-On Cover – Keeps batteries secure and protected\n\nSeries Connection – Four AA cells wired in series\n\nWire Leads – Bare wire output for flexible wiring\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nBattery Type – 4× AA (alkaline or NiMH rechargeable)\n\nOutput Voltage (Alkaline) – 6.4V (fresh) → 6V (nominal) → 4V (depleted)\n\nOutput Voltage (NiMH) – 5.2V (charged) → 4.8V (nominal) → 4.4V (discharged)\n\nOutput – Wire leads (no connector)\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nPortable Arduino and microcontroller projects\nBattery-powered prototypes\nProjects requiring a switchable power source\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× 4×AA Battery Holder with on/off switch and cover\n\n\n\nNote: Batteries are not included. Also available: 4×AA holder with DC2.1 plug and switch.\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":13824,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-830","price":5.3,"compare_at_price":7.81,"on_sale":true,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":110,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
