Hello,

Either my web search terms are quite inadequate, or perhaps no one ever wants a conveniently pre-wired holder for batteries connected in parallel.

Tried at standard (USA) sites like DigiK-- and Mous--. The in-series 2xAA=3V, etc., are even available at general merchandise retailers as shown in this pic from an A---zon listing.

Would appreciate comment.

Hello,

No formal training, but do like to repair devices at home (and keep vintage electronics and computers going).

Yet another alkaline battery has leaked prodigiously into a device (after only a few months). A wall-mounted thermostat.

Is the sort of clip pictured, which contacts an AA battery negative terminal at one end, and seemed to just clamp onto a conductive trace at the edge of PCB at the other, an easy-to-find standard form (for replacement) or a custom piece?

It is quite corroded and even peeling, and suspect replacing the clip would be better than devising a work-around.

Visually searching through product photos on supplier websites (like Digi--- and Mous-- here in the US) has not been effective.

Thanks for any comment.
