Source for half AA batter holder for an SE?

[reallyrandy]

I have an SE with the soldered on black battery and I want to convert over to a standard holder. THIS ONE is out of stock, and with the state of supply chains right now it could be months. Does anyone know of another one that would fit? Maybe from Amazon or something where shipping isn't $10?

Hi, @reallyrandy!

How about this one?

Hey @reallyrandy, if you prefer to buy and ship within the United States, there are plenty of options!

I noticed that Newark and other electronics companies would also have 1/2 AA battery holders. For example, look at this one:



As for shipping, it isn't easy to have it under $9 within the United States because of S/H costs such as packaging, labor, warehouse operation, and postal shipping rates.

You're welcome, @reallyrandy. Good find. I have the same clip-type battery holder in my SE/30.
