Connector for CR123A Battery

[DocBurN]

Im getting sick of custom making Ultrafire LC 16340 3.6V 1000mAh Protected CR123A Battery connector to mount my battery in box.. etc..

You guys have any idea where can I get a CR123A plastic battery mount (not sure how its called, english isn't my first language) that I can glue inside my empty box to easily change my CR123A batteries ?

Thank you very much in advance for your wisdom.

I guess you could use this...


Battery Holder: CR123A Battery Holder for PCB mount - RoHS Compliant - BCR123A


You can have an idea of the space it takes:

I should warn you that a protected 16340 will be really tight in there.

Did search all over for days and this is the only place that had them.

That is absolutely ridiculous, what are these people thinking?, are they walking all the way to Montreal to deliver or what?

Yes, you should ship it to your brother, trust me, I used a lot of time searching and didn't find any other place for those.
The only other option is Alibaba.com but you have to buy minimum 10,000 pieces .

Sorry.

I just called them on the phone to try understand and they told me you can place your order and follow the instructions here:

FAQ

IF you don't mind "risking it" you would be paying somewhere around $10 for shipping instead of the $60 showing on checkout.

I copied this from their website:

(USPS stands for US postal service)


4. We don't use USPS to ship item due to USPS does not provide a good tracking system. However, if you still prefer to use USPS to ship then we are NOT liable for any damage/ miss shipment and we will charge you $5.00 + whatever USPS shipping cost for handling this.

If this is acceptable to you, you can just place order using UPS or FedEx and then I can refund you the difference using USPS to ship to you. Please enter on the comment section - " I like to use USPS to ship and willing to accept the risk of loss or damage shipment. " Also, please send me email with your order # so I can follow up for you.

Im in my living room, drinkin' wine.. when all of the sudden, I see a delivery man with a batteryspace.com uniform walkin' right i front of my house 8-o!!

I really beleave they walk to montréal Warp!

Just wanted to say.. thats really nice of you to check a bit further for information. Now I'll choose between these 3 options..

1) risk a small order, not a big lost if it dosen't work
2) call up my bro in texas
3) keep custom made them from scratch
