## Description

When you need a portable 12V power pack, this big holder will do the job! The holder will store 8 AA batteries end to end, to give approximately 12VDC output with up to 2 amp peak current draw. Adafruit like this configuration in particular because it holds the batteries securely, even if being bumped/moved around.
 This would make a good power source for [EL panels](https://core-electronics.com.au/electroluminescent-el-panel-20cm-x-15cm-aqua.html), [12V stepper motors](https://core-electronics.com.au/stepper-motor-200-steps-rev-12v-350ma.html) (for a robot), or analog LED strip such as this [30 RGB LED](https://core-electronics.com.au/rgb-led-weatherproof-flexi-strip-30-led-1-m.html), [60 LED RGB](https://core-electronics.com.au/rgb-led-weatherproof-flexi-strip-60-led-1-m.html) or [warm white](https://core-electronics.com.au/warm-white-led-weatherproof-flexi-strip-60-led-1-m.html)). You may want to pick up [a DC power plug adapter](https://core-electronics.com.au/male-dc-power-adapter-2-1mm-plug-to-screw-terminal-block.html) to connect onto the wires for easy plugging.
 
 Batteries are not included, can be used with any AA-sized Alkaline or Rechargeable batteries.
