Any Size Battery Box (AA, AAA, C, D, 18650, etc)

thingiverse

This is a versatile battery box creator that enables the production of battery boxes for most cylindrical batteries, including AA, AAA, C, D and 18650s. For terminals, I use roofing flashing obtained from a nearby hardware store. I simply purchase a piece approximately one foot long by whatever width they have, remove the zinc coating with sandpaper, cut it into strips that are 9mm wide by 38mm long, then utilize the terminal jig to shape them as illustrated in the pictures. The terminal jig is also the correct size to cut the terminal soldering tab to length. I simply cut it into roughly thirds from the bottom, then remove the side third on each side.
