We took off the metal and cardboard which were joined to the connector. We discarded most of the battery, but kept the connector and the plastic base. Using gloves and a newspaper to avoid any nasty chemicals. We used pliers to take off the metal casing of an old 9 Volt battery. You can see the bag it came from.īe sure to slide the heat shrink on before you solder! The Home Made 9 Volt Clip #Īll that remains is to connect your 9 Volt clip, which you can buy but it's more fun and interesting to make one. The yellow sheath is the heat shrink we use to insulate the join. In the photo below we have the red and black wires cut and stripped ready to solder together. The remaining black/negative from the 2nd pack is your negative out.The black/negative from 1st pack connects to the red from the 2nd pack.You need to connect the red/positive from the 1st pack to positive out.
#Nine volt battery connector series
In series we expected 6.2 volts and this is what we got. (You would expect double the battery life with them in parallel delivering 3.1V) We hooked up a multimeter and connected our 2 holders in parallel just for fun and got 3.1 Volts but we want 6 Volts so connected them in series. You can make your own or 3D print them but they are very cheap to buy. There are a variety of other options, you can get holders that take 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 batteries. We used 2 AA battery holders back to back which gave us a similar shape to the 9Volt battery space in our mini Amp.
We were hoping the power supply we're about to make (made up of AA batteries) would last longer that the 9V since the overall volume was larger - so far, the one we have created is yet to need a replacement battery! Connecting Your AA Batteries # If you wanted 9 Volts, then you have the option of including an extra 2 batteries in your project. So, we decided to use 4 of these 1.5V AA batteries (with a total 6V) to replace the expensive 9V battery. We realised we could buy over 30 cheap 1.5 Volt AA batteries for less than the price of just one 9 Volt battery. You can pick up 9V battery clips cheaply, but we up-cycled one from an old battery which turned out better than a bought one. We got a 32 pack of 1.5 Volt AA Batteries for only £2 (from PoundLand) - compared with the Duracell 9 Volt Battery that cost £7, this is going to be a lot cheaper no matter how the project turns out. 1.5V AA Batteries (4-6 batteries, depending on your desired output voltage).ĩ-volt batteries accounted for 4% of alkaline primary battery sales in the United States in 2007, and 2% of primary battery sales and 2% of secondary (rechargeable) battery sales in Switzerland in 2008.Most of the equipment used in our videos can be found on Amazon, we have an affiliated partnership with Amazon, any money we make goes into our University or College fund. Primary lithium types are made with three cells in series. Carbon-zinc types are made with six flat cells in a stack, enclosed in a moisture-resistant wrapper to prevent drying. These cells are slightly smaller than LR8D425 AAAA cells and can be used in their place for some devices, even though they are 3.5 mm shorter. Most PP3-size alkaline batteries are constructed of six individual cylindrical 1.5 V LR61 cells enclosed in a wrapper. A few other 9-volt battery sizes are available: A10 and A29. A range of PP batteries was produced in the past, with voltages of 4.5, 6, and 9 volts and different capacities the larger 9-volt PP6, PP7, and PP9 are still available. The size, regardless of chemistry, is commonly designated PP3-a designation originally reserved solely for carbon-zinc, or in some countries, E or E-block.
Designations for this format include NEDA 1604 and IEC 6F22 (for zinc-carbon) or MN1604 6LR61 (for alkaline).
Mercury batteries of this format, once common, have been banned in many countries due to their toxicity. The nine-volt PP3-size battery is commonly available in primary zinc-carbon and alkaline chemistry, in primary lithium iron disulfide and lithium manganese dioxide (sometimes designated CRV9 ), and in rechargeable form in nickel-cadmium (Ni–Cd), nickel-metal hydride (Ni–MH) and lithium-ion.
