Battery holders are designed to support commercial, industrial or OEM batteries. They allow for safe retention, and easy and fast replacement of the battery. Types of battery holders include plastic, metal, battery snaps, coin cell, component clips, battery racks, and battery cabinets. Battery holders are configured for single cells or multiple cells. Plastic holders are fabricated from molded plastic. Metal holders similar in form to molded plastic holders, but with flexible metal clips into which the batteries are inserted. Battery snaps are snap terminals, typically for 9V batteries. Coin cell battery holders are for round coin cell batteries. Component chips are flexible clips into which batteries are inserted and held under constant spring tension. Battery racks range in size from those that contain a single battery to those that contain multiple batteries. They are usually available in one, two or multiple tiers. Battery cabinets are basic battery enclosures. Single cell battery holders hold only one battery. Multiple cell holders hold 2 or more batteries.
