Hello,
I have a 2 AA battery holder that crapped out on me. I saw these online at Radio Shack. Has anyone used them. I'd hate to place an order with Tim just for one AA battery Holder and was looking to see if i could find something close by my home that I could run out and pick up. this was all i could find.
2 AA battery holder that uses 9v snap connectors. I hyperlinked it so you could see what this is.
Thte 9V clip makes it easier to replace the holder if it gets damaged. In my experience, the RS battery holders have weak springs. I have had to replace one in my nephew's saber twice now. But after replacing it with a 4AA holder from here (http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/4A...der--P134.aspx), it has not had a problem for years. I think, I'd rather have it last longer than be easy to replace.
For your purposes, have you looked at: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/2A...lder-P348.aspx ?
Darth Fender,
Thanks for your input. I was just wondering about those Holders I had mentioned. I didn't want to place an order at Tcss just for one part. I was looking around here where I live to see if I could pick up a replacement 2 AA battery holder and That one from Radio shack was all I could find. Not too many Hobby shops around here anymore, But we have a buttload of cell phone and liquor stores. Go Figure.

Sure is an awesome amp.
My point about the RS battery holders is that they have springs that are a little weak for our purposes. They get compressed and don't spring back, making a bad connection. This is mostly due to the forces that are exerted on it during combat. I have replaced every RS battery holder I have ever installed due to failure of some sort or other. But your mileage may vary.
Thanks Darth Fender. I'm not going to pick one of those up then.
