Does anyone make a *good* 8-cell AA battery holder?

It's possible to get them with press stud type connectors on them (eg
like
a
PP9 battery)....

Generally though battery holders are allways unreliable.



Hey, thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, I have seen such battery holders, but I am really looking for a case
allowing access to the batteries without disassembling the project. And
the
9V battery case (with cover) worked fine until I took it out to go to 12V.
May end up putting it back in. Or just living with the crappy case I
currently have, without any cover. (Duct tape?) sigh

Again, thanks for the interest. I just can't belive someone doesn't make
a
12V AA battery case w/cover for homebrew projects...

Dave, the frustrated.



You can get whole project enclosures with built in battery boxes but they
tend to be limited to small hand held devices.
