From the MP3 player we listen to while at the gym, to the automobile we drive to work in, there are many devices, machines and equipment that require a battery to operate. A hobbyist who wishes to power an electric or electronic device without having to plug a power adapter into a wall socket can use a 6 volt DC battery pack to power that device.
Instructions
1. Cut a length of wire and strip each end of the wire of ½ inch of insulation. Solder one end of the wire to the positive terminal on the battery holder. Solder this connection. Attach the other end of this wire to one of the ring terminals, and solder the wire to the ring terminal.
2. Cut a second length of wire and strip each end of the wire of ½ inch of insulation. Solder one end of this wire to the negative terminal on the battery holder, and solder this connection. Attach the other end of this wire to one of the ring terminals, and solder the wire to the ring terminal.
3. Insert the first battery (with the negative battery terminal placed on the spring) into the first battery slot in the battery holder. Insert the second, third and fourth batteries into the second, third and fourth battery slots in the same fashion. Connect the battery pack to the device to be powered.
