This is an incredibly simple one cell 18650 Battery Holder. When someone thinks of 18650 Cells they tend to think of flashlights first, which is fair since that is what they have been primarily used for. However, with this battery holder you will gain the ability to incorporate 18650 cells into applications like robotics or prototyping by simply dropping one into this device and attaching the leads, that’s it.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=PRT-12899:1` (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/PRT-12899:1.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 is an incredibly simple one cell 18650 Battery Holder. When someone thinks of 18650 Cells they tend to think of flashlights first, which is fair since that is what they have been primarily used for. However, with this battery holder you will gain the ability to incorporate 18650 cells into applications like robotics or prototyping by simply dropping one into this device and attaching the leads, that’s it.

Every 18650 Battery Holder is equipped with two 6" cables for power and ground, each protruding from opposite ends of the casing. Both have been terminated with bare wire leads.

The plastic coverings holding this one in are very rigid and can make it quite difficult to remove the battery once it's in place. This holder is more suitable for when you want a battery that will be powering a load but can also be charged without being removed.

**Dimensions:**

- Holder: 74.5mm x 21.5mm x 17.7mm (2.93" x 0.84" x 0.69")
- Overall Length: 379.3mm (14.9")
