WTB - AAA battery spacer

[DJNY]

I need something like this:

AW AA Battery Spacer


THANKS

I'd just DIY it - cut a piece of circuit board to length, and solder a wire with contact points on both ends. All is has to do is conduct, mostly its not required to have the actual shape of a AAA cell.

Too bad I don´t have a soldering iron, or any DIY experiences. I always did it with magnetic spacers, but this option doesn´t always work and I´m looking for a more elegant option like the dummy battery I linked above.

You can make them if you want

Making dummy AA & AAA batteries..

although I cant seem to find a link to one :thinking:

just go and search your local hardware store, try to find some PVC tubing with the diameter of a AAA battery. then cut 2 round pieces of PCB with the diameter of AAA, cut the tubing to the size of AAA, glue the 2 PCB's to the ends of the tube (copper facing out) and connect them with a wire
and also, get a soldering iron, solder wire and soldering paste

I use a piece of 1/2" wooden dowel...
Then partially push in a tack on each end...
Then wrap some wire (between each end)
around the tack's pins and push the tacks
all the way in to lock the wire in place..

Depending on the type of tack.. you may need
to scrape the electrical contact surfaces clean of
any paint or protective coatings...

Just get a bolt, or a piece of aluminum rod stock, the right diameter, cut it to length. Wrap it in tape, leaving the ends bare.

= Dummy spacer for 25 cents

Peace,

You guys are all correct, but he said he doesn't DIY.

Perhaps, with the right encouragement, he will

A saw and some tape does not have much of a learning slope

Peace,

What's wrong with the one you linked phil?

EDIT: just realized that was a AA, and you need AAA.
ME so silly!

EDIT 2: I just googled AAA battery spacer, and this thread was the 6th link down sorry, they seem impossible to find

 

[DJNY]

Thanks all of you!

I might go with Dave´s way.

Too bad there is no good-looking AAA dummy batt existing like the one I linked above.


Edit: What about this one?

Let me know if it turns out ok. You never quite know with eBay. At least they are pretty cheap. I have to say I was really suprised how hard they were to find. I found that link buried on page 4 of my third or forth reworded google search.
