Coverpack for 10x Mignon / AA cells

The following information is intended solely for individuals with electrical expertise. No liability will be assumed for any damages resulting from this! To protect existing battery holders from impact damage, I designed a cover to prevent cells from falling out. However, the "high-quality" battery clip I purchased was subpar and had thin cables. I decided to create my own clip using an old 9V battery. I soldered the cable outlet (2x 0.75mm²) to shortened contacts and secured it with a cable tie (<a href="https://www.reichelt.de/cable-ties-uv-black-100x2-5-mm-pack-of-100-kab-u-100-2-5-p24764.html?&trstct=pos_9">UV-resistant, black cable ties</a>). A small screwdriver helped to install the tie in the cover - a bit tricky. On the other end of the cable, I soldered a DC-plug (<a href="https://www.reichelt.de/dc-power-plug-straight-i-2-1-mm-a-5-5-mm-lum-nes-21-p116240.html?r=1">DC power plug</a>) that fits into my devices. To secure the battery holder in the cover, I stretched an office rubber band around the lower edge of the cells. The result is a beautifully crafted power bank with approximately 12 volts (dependent on the cell used). 73 es 55 de DH1ND
