Hey, your T - shirt that flashes and plays chip - tunes is super cool at the party. But sooner or later, you'll want to turn it off. Sure, you could pull out the battery, or you might have sewn a LilyPad slide switch into the circuit. But what if the battery holder itself had a switch? Well, here's the answer! This Coin Cell Battery Holder comes with a small slide switch on the board, in the power line. You can easily turn off your project and save battery life. The slide switch is the same as the one on the LilyPad Slide Switch Board, so it won't be accidentally turned on or off. Just like the original holder, this simple board can hold a 20mm coin cell battery, like a CR2032. It has four connection points (two positive and two negative) for you to sew into your project. We've also strengthened the battery connector to prevent it from popping off accidentally. You can access documents like the Schematic, Eagle Files, and GitHub for more information.
Using this battery holder is easy. First, place a 20mm coin cell battery, such as a CR2032, into the holder. Then, use the four connection points (two positive and two negative) to sew it into your project. To turn on or off your project, simply use the small slide switch on the board. Be careful not to apply too much force when operating the switch to avoid damage. When it comes to maintenance, keep the battery holder dry and clean. If the battery doesn't fit tightly, check the strengthened battery connector to make sure it's in good condition. And always follow proper battery disposal rules when replacing the battery.
