A 6×AA battery holder with a 5.5mm/2.1mm DC barrel plug, ready to power Arduino boards and other electronics with a standard DC jack. Use alkaline AAs for approximately 9V at 3000–4000mAh, or rechargeable NiMH cells for 7.2V at ~2000mAh.
The 9V alkaline output is ideal for boards with a 5V voltage regulator that require 7V+ input. Lasts about 10 times longer than a single 9V battery.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- DC
- DC means direct current, where electricity flows in one constant direction, as supplied by batteries, USB ports and many plug-pack power supplies. When a product specifies DC, it runs from a DC supply rather than mains AC, so you need to provide the correct voltage and polarity.
