From: DaveC on 16 Dec 2008 12:06 I want to keep some NiMH rechargeable 9v batteries in my tool bag (well, my meter bag, actually). I am currently running a double loop of electrical tape around the entire battery to insulate the terminals. I'd like to use something more durable (one battery has had a terminal peek through the tape) and was thinking about something like a battery terminal connector but made of insulating material like nylon (probably of some cheaper plastic). Does such a thing exist? I did web searches, but maybe my terminology isn't spot-on... Ideas? Thanks, -- DaveC me(a)bogusdomain.net This is an invalid return address Please reply in the news group
From: William Sommerwerck on 16 Dec 2008 12:22 I've seen all-plastic plugs for 9V batteries that were designed for just this purpose. But they came on batteries supplied with a product. I've never seen them for commercial sale. How about punching two holes in a block of foam, then taping it on?

Pro Duracells PP3 size in the UK come with a plastic clip on cover for the positive terminal as they are usually supplied in bulk - ie no individual wrapping. So that's to prevent shorts in a partially emptied box. Find a film or TV crew and ask the sound guy for some. -- *Your kid may be an honours student, but you're still an idiot.

Cut the wires off short (preferably inside the vinyl housing a bit).
