## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA4194:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA4194:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

This battery holder connects 2 AA batteries together in series for powering all kinds of projects. Adafruit spec'd these out because the box is fairly slim, and 2 AA's add up to about 3V for many low voltage electronics projects. Fits any standard AA battery. When using rechargeable NiMH the output voltage will range from about 2.7V with charged batteries to 1.8V at the end of life with a nominal voltage of 2.4V. When using alkalines, the output will range from 3.2V with new batteries to 2.2V at the end of life with a nominal voltage of about 3V.The polarity matches that of our [2-pin JST cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/jst-2-pin-cable.html) and [Li-Ion/Poly batteries](https://core-electronics.com.au/#). Uses a genuine JST connector so it won't 'catch and tear' in JST connectors.

## Technical Details

- Cable Length: approx 6" long, terminated with a genuine JST-PH 2 pin connector
- Holder Dimensions: 58.2 x 32 x 13.6mm
