Compatibility
Works with any 5Vā6V input boards like Arduino Uno, Nano, Mega, and ESP8266. For Raspberry Pi, use with a step-down regulator to 5V. Note that alkaline AA voltage drops under load; rechargeable NiMH cells output 4.8V, which may cause instability on some 5V logic boards.
Wiring Notes
Red wire is positive (+), black is negative (ā). Connect directly to the VIN pin on Arduino for regulated 5V output. Ensure batteries are inserted with correct polarity, matching the markings inside the holder. Current rating is typically sufficient for small to medium projects (up to 500 mA).
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino?
Yes, connect the red wire to VIN and black to GND. The 6V output is within the 7-12V recommended range, so it works but the onboard regulator will drop the voltage; for optimal efficiency, a 9V battery is preferred.
Can I use rechargeable AA batteries?
Yes, NiMH AA batteries work, but note the total voltage will be 4.8V (4 Ć 1.2V) which may cause instability on 5V logic boards. Some Arduinos may brown out when batteries discharge below 4.5V.
What is the wire length?
The attached wires are approximately 15 cm long, giving you plenty of reach inside an enclosure.
