How do battery holders work?

Battery holders secure batteries and facilitate the power supply into the device they're linked to. Often, you'll find them inside an electrical device, such as a remote control or inside a torch. However, they're also available as an external attachment. The size and shape of a battery holder or case will depend on the type of battery it's designed to hold, from AAA to 12V battery cells.

You can attach external connections to battery holders. Sometimes they're linked to wire leads and sometimes they have other points of contact like solder lugs, pins, or surface mount feet. This will all depend on what the battery holder is attached to.

What are the benefits of using a battery holder?

Secured batteries mean the power flow isn't interrupted, so the device they're powering can run seamlessly. Battery holders come in all shapes and sizes, so every type of cell is covered, and are designed in a way that means the battery can be clicked into place. External battery holders usually connect to a device with surface mount feet, pins, wires or soldered lugs, allowing more versatility.

You can load up more than one battery cell if you have the right battery holder, providing more power to the devices that require it.

What are the different types of battery holder?

Battery holders, whether they're internal or external, come in different shapes and sizes, just as batteries themselves do. Here are some examples of the different battery holders and cases available. The battery mount refers to the way the batteries are held within the holder. A few examples of these include:

• Panel mount
• Slide-in mount
• PCB mount
• Chassis mount
• Wire lead mount

Battery holders can facilitate different types of cells. Examples include:

• AAA battery holders
• AA battery holders
• 4 AA battery holders
• 18650 battery holders
• 9V battery holders
• 12V battery holders
• CR123 battery holders
• Coin cell battery holders
• D battery holders

How to choose the most suitable battery holder

First and foremost, you need to match your case to the size of your chosen batteries. Each will be designed for a specific type of cell. This might mean selecting anything from a 18650 battery holder to a 9V battery holder depending on what the battery case and mount are designed to hold. Check the contact style and the battery insertion method before inserting any cells.
