Battery Box

Battery Box with Slide Lock Button:

You will need: 

• Spring from an old pen (length: 20-25mm, diameter: 4-4.6mm).
• A piece of filament for the hinges (seal the ends with a lighter).

(Hint: Some ballpoint pens have longer springs, like 30mm, if this is your case, you can press spring with your hand for a few seconds to make it smaller).

⚠ Two versions of boxes, for AA and 18650 batteries:

• Storage space for the AA battery version:
  • 9x AA Batteries
  • 12x AAA Batteries
  • 3x CR2025 (3V) Batteries
