Spirit Halloween Ghostbusters Proton Pack Battery Holder

thingiverse

These brackets enable you to install a 12V rechargeable battery in your Spirit Halloween Deluxe proton pack. This will replace the included 3xAA battery pack, necessary if you're upgrading all original electronics for more precise sounds and lighting effects. To accommodate a larger "blue brick" battery, some support webbing must be removed. I utilized a dremel tool to carefully grind away the top portion of certain supports. Next, the battery holder base parts can be permanently secured in place using adhesive. The top portions of the battery holders are connected with 2-28, 5/16" long plastic screws. This allows you to later swap out a different sized battery by printing new top pieces and replacing the old ones. The battery wasn't securely held in place as desired, so edges can be utilized to keep a rubber band in position. This unexpected benefit also secures the charger connector in place for easy access.
