## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA3842:1` (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/ADA3842:1.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.

## Description

Here's another addition to Adafruit's growing family of [AA battery holders](https://core-electronics.com.au/power-batteries/battery-holders.html). A holder for three (3) AA batteries! It's got an 8" long power cable with a 2.1mm DC jack at the end, and, oh yes, it's in classy Adafruit black.

This battery holder connects 3 AA batteries together for powering all kinds of projects. Three AA's add up to about 3.6-4.5V, a very similar range to Lithium Ion/polymer (Li-Ion) batteries. That makes them ideal for use with 3.3V projects. (Of course, you can't recharge them like Li-Ion/Polys, so don't try to plug this into one of Adafruit's Li-Ion/Poly charger boards!)

Power cable is 200mm long with a DC jack with 2.1mm ID with center-positive polarity.

**AA Batteries are not included**, [but Adafruit have lots of options in the store!](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=aa+alkaline)

### Technical Details

Holder Dimensions (excluding cable): 58 x 48 x 14.5mm

Cable length: ~8" / 200mm
