AA Battery Holder

Do you mean 8 AA's side by side? If so, Mouser have one but it's got wire leads:

Or do you mean the "S" type here:

They only have 6 way in that type though.

** Did you see the word " long " = end on end ???

Did you see the number 8 ??

Did you see " 9 volt snap " ???

Never seen an RC transmitter battery holder for loose cells ??

Must be verrrry dark where you have your head stuck.

Geez Phil, it would be easier to find a source of chook's teeth. After the best part of an hour's searching not only Aussie websites but overseas as well, all I could find was some Asian manufacturer of a holder which mightn't be the kind you're looking for anyway. I put a photo of it at

Is that the layout you need? If you're after two long rows of 4 AA cells with a '9V snap' on the end, I couldn't find any mention of them anywhere.

Bob

** Yeah - it's quite absurdly dificult to find.

DSE used to sell them years ago - I last bought one back in 1991 maybe.

** That IS is the beast.

I failed to even find a pic of one.

Thanks for your effort.

For what it's worth, that one's made by the Comfortable Electronic Co Ltd in Taiwan. Good name, isn't it? More info at

Good luck...

Bob

You didn't try too hard then, I found one in less than a minute with Google. I uploaded the pic here:

And I found a US supplier who has them for US$5, but you had to be dick as usual, so I won't tell you where. Try being nice next time.

Another minute or two and - oh look, another two suppliers, one at US $10 (ouch), and another at =A3$0.38

** Not the least bit interested in buying one from the USA.

........ Phil

Oh look, another one that is =A3$0.90 with =A3$2.30 postage to Aus, too easy. Plenty out there Phil.

Dave.

Yes, Even Greenweld have 'em for £0.79 (BH0010)

"Ross Herbert"

** Nope.

Not even NZ.

........ Phil

Oh look, another one that is £$0.90 with £$2.30 postage to Aus, too easy. Plenty out there Phil.

Dave.

Dave,

I wouldn't be bothered with the little wanker. He's so up himself I seriously doubt if there is a spare mm3 to support a fart. He's the sort of tosser that would trash the device rather than accept your help. No wonder he's still just fixing (I mean stuffing) toasters.

What's wrong with the UK? Plenty available there, and even with postage can be had for under AU$10

Anyway, I just found an Australian supplier, $2.75ea. They do however appear to be out of stock at the moment. Way too easy, try a bit harder Phil.

Dave.

Dave,

You have to remember that if Phil can't buy it locally (within a train or bus ride in Sydney) he'll have to toddle down to the Post Office and get an Australian money order to pay for it. For overseas purchases he'd have to get an International money order and that's likely to cost a tad more so Uncle Scrooge is very unlikely to do that. Now Joe Average would probably just buy one on-line using their credit card, but I doubt Phil's allowed to have one of those.

Wow, a money order, that brings back memories... I think the last time I got one of those was to pay for a subscription to ETI magazine, I think I was about 12-13yo at the time. At the time they offered a free CD cleaning cloth and you went into a draw to win a Philips 50MHz CRO. I never did win that that CRO :-(, but I did get my free Philips brand cleaning cloth.

** You missed the obvious irony - fool.

YOU are calling Bob Parker a retard.

Cos he spent an hour and found none in Australia.

OTOH - I spent nothing like that time.

I will make one or two phone calls to hobby suppliers tomorrow.

No need to order overseas for such a basic item.

Well if it was so bloody easy, why did you bother posting here in the first place you moronic pea brain?

Your OP and your subsequent responses show the typical work of a true Usenet TROLL.

But then again, one can't expect much better from a Marist Brothers' education, can one?

If they are used in RC gear, maybe a hobby shop might be the go?
