Battery Caps

thingiverse

Another set of battery caps / holders. Although there are several examples of battery dispensers and holders out there, I decided to design my own - a very simple design. They simply stick on the batteries if printed with TPU or similar material The standard package size for batteries is four, but many devices need two, three, six or even only a single battery and to simply throw a replacement set into your bag when traveling I wanted a matching container to protect the batteries. I decided to print little snap-on caps in TPU to keep a set and protect the terminals from unintended contact. Batteries may slightly differ in diameter, the 10.5mm for AAA and 14.3mm for AA batteries seem to be a good compromise, at least it fits well on rechargable batteries from Panasonic (Eneloop), GP, VARTA and others (although GP seem to be a bit thicker than others). Play with minimal x/y scaling if the don't fit your batteries. I have uploaded files for the most common usages (up to 8 per row, one or two rows), if you need different sizes, let me know (may be I should have tried to do this in OpenSCAD instead)
