18650 Battery Holder (2-Cell) with Cover & Switch

Upgrade your robot’s power supply with this premium 2-Cell 18650 Battery Holder. Unlike standard open battery sleds, this enclosure features a sliding plastic cover to protect your volatile lithium-ion cells from drops and short circuits. Best of all, it includes a built-in ON/OFF switch, saving you the hassle of adding a separate toggle switch to your robot chassis.

Why choose this battery holder?

  • Built-in Power Switch: Turn your entire project on or off with a single click. No more unplugging delicate jumper wires every time you need to reset your robot.
  • Fully Enclosed Safety: The sliding lid locks into place, keeping the batteries secure during high-speed movement and preventing loose metal tools from causing accidental shorts.
  • Perfect 7.4V Output: This case wires the two 3.7V cells in series, delivering a nominal 7.4V (up to 8.4V fully charged). This is the absolute sweet spot for powering an L298N motor driver or an Arduino’s VIN pin.

Common Applications

  • Main power supply for 2WD and 4WD Mobile Robots
  • Powering Arduino Uno/Mega boards (via the VIN pin)
  • Portable IoT and Weather Station Enclosures
  • RC Cars, Boats, and custom LED lighting rigs

The Bench Robotics Guarantee

  • Verified Quality: Each unit undergoes a strict visual inspection and quality check in our Lucknow lab before packaging.
  • Fast Dispatch: Orders are packed and dispatched within 12 hours.
  • Bench Support: Verified customers get direct call/chat support for troubleshooting.

Common Questions

Does this case output 3.7V or 7.4V?

This case is wired in series, meaning it adds the voltages of the two batteries together. 3.7V + 3.7V = 7.4V total output. It will not output 3.7V.

Can I charge the batteries while they are in this case?

No. This is strictly a battery holder, not a charger or Battery Management System (BMS). To charge the batteries, you must remove them and put them in a dedicated 18650 wall charger, or wire a 2S BMS board to the output leads.

Will it fit both “Flat Top” and “Button Top” batteries?

Yes. The internal springs are long enough to accommodate standard flat-top batteries securely, but flexible enough to fit the slightly longer button-top batteries without issue.

My circuit isn’t turning on. What’s wrong?

First, check the built-in switch! Second, verify battery polarity. In series holders, one battery points “up” and the other points “down.” The flat negative end of the battery always goes against the metal spring.
