## Description

Here's yet another addition to Adafruit's family of [AA battery holders](https://core-electronics.com.au/#). It's a holder for five (5) AA batteries, with 5" wire leads. It's black and has a 2.1mm barrel plug (tip positive).

5 x AA battery packs are best used with [Arduino](https://core-electronics.com.au/arduino-uno-r3-atmega328-assembled.html)-compatibles and other dev boards with 2.1mm DC jacks and a 5V regulator, because 5V regulators tend to like 1-2V of overhead. 4 x AA battery holders would give you ~6VDC, which is just a *tiny* bit too low. This 5 x AA holder is just big enough to fit on Adafruit's robot rover kits, and power both an Arduino-compatible and a couple of motors.
