Battery Holders Retainer Clips What is Battery Holder? Battery Holders are devices used to hold and secure batteries in electronic devices. They come in various shapes and sizes, depending on the type and size of the battery they are designed to hold. Battery holders are typically made from plastic or metal materials and feature spring-loaded contacts that connect to the battery terminals to provide power to the device. They are commonly used in electronic devices such as toys, remote controls, flashlights, and other portable devices that require batteries for power. Battery holders are essential components in electronic devices, as they ensure that the batteries are held securely in place and provide a reliable source of power for the device.

Choosing the right Battery Holder.
The kind of battery holder required depends on the below factors:
Size of the batteries being used (AAA, AA, C, D, etc.)
Number of cells being used
Compatibility of the cells being used with the battery holder
Contact and terminal style
Most battery holders are specifically manufactured for a particular type of batteries. However, many battery holders will be compatible with similar batteries with different chemistries. One point to note here is that if a battery holder houses batteries of different chemistries at the same time, the power being delivered will be in line with the weakest battery. Hence, using batteries with the same chemistry is advisable for optimum performance.
Types of Battery Holder Mounts.
The way the battery holder is attached to the cell-powered device is known as the battery holder mount. The different types of battery mounts are:
Panel Mount:
A panel mount battery holder is a separate compartment designed to hold cells. It can be inserted into a cavity in the device that needs power. It can be removed when the batteries need to be changed. They are inserted in the device cavity by screwing in or have Flange Panels.
Slide-In Mount:
In this type of mount, the cells are inserted and removed by sliding in or out. They are the most commonly used mounts and also economical. When a cell is slid in place, it is held by a cover or by the opposing force of two terminals. This type of mount is quite reliable, too.
Chassis Mount:
This type of mount is fixed inside the main body of the device to a surface plate. These mounts come in plastic as well as metal.
PCB Mount:
As the name suggests, the PCB Mount is for when the battery needs to be on a PCB. It has sharp pins around the perimeter which can be used to fix it on a PCB. Usually, they are used to hold coin cells. However, PCB mounts are also made for AAA or AA cells.
Strap & Lead:
They are not entire housing units, but make it possible to attach a battery to an electronic device or holder. It just has a wire and two press studs to hold a cell. Replacement of the cell becomes easy in this method.
Snap-In Mount:
It consists of tensioned metal clips to hold a cell securely in place. The battery is to be pushed into the housing until it snaps in place. This type of mount is best suited for systems prone to shocks and vibrations.
Wire Lead Mount:
This type of mount provides a good level of flexibility in terms of the places where it can be used. It has two wire leads at one end while the other end can be fixed to the device being powered.
Surface Mount:
This type of mount is usually used for coin cells. It lies flat inside the device or within a circuit. It is open-faced and has button terminal contacts.
Through-Hole Surface Mount:
This is best suited to hold batteries where space is a constraint. Instead of being inserted into a cavity in a device, it is fixed on the surface of the device through holes.
Battery holders are often not taken seriously enough when designing systems. However, a reliable battery holder is an important component that contributes to the reliability of the entire system.
What are the chronic diseases that need to be eradicated in the “slow motion†of new energy vehicles?
In recent times, the topic of the "dual integration" policy has sparked intense discussions and debates within the automotive industry. On September 27, 2017, a long-awaited regulatory change finally took effect, marking a turning point for traditional automakers. That day, five key government departments—the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, the General Administration of Customs, and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine—jointly issued the "Measures for the Concurrent Management of Average Fuel Consumption of Passenger Vehicles and New Energy Vehicle Credits," commonly known as the "Measures." These regulations were scheduled to take effect on April 1, 2018. However, compared to the earlier draft, there was a notable shift: the elimination of new energy vehicle credit scoring in 2018, with direct requirements that the proportion of new energy vehicles must reach 10% in 2019 and 12% in 2020.
While the policy was seen as a resolution to uncertainty, many new energy vehicle companies found themselves caught off guard. Instead of preparing for the future, some remained hesitant, waiting for further clarity. Yet, behind this apparent calm, deeper issues persisted. The industry still struggled with outdated practices and resistance to change. Addressing these challenges requires strong measures and a clear vision for the future.
So, what are the remaining problems? What lessons can be learned from past successes and failures? To help the industry navigate this complex landscape, the New Energy Auto Network offers an in-depth analysis.
One of the most persistent issues is the "giant baby mentality"—a mindset where companies prefer comfort over risk, and avoid proactive changes. This attitude has led many domestic automakers to adopt a wait-and-see approach, assuming that policies would be delayed or softened. In June 2017, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released a draft of the new regulation, which was interpreted by some as a way to give domestic brands an advantage in the new energy sector. However, it was overlooked that even major domestic manufacturers like FAW and Dongfeng struggled to meet the targets.
Many large Chinese automakers showed little enthusiasm for promoting new energy vehicles, adopting a passive stance. This hesitation was partly fueled by the belief that the policy would not be strictly enforced. The removal of the new energy vehicle credit system in the final version of the "Measures" further reinforced this perception, delaying the full implementation of the dual-point system.
According to Wu Zhihong, a psychologist, the "giant baby mentality" reflects a deep-seated desire for security and comfort. People tend to avoid risks and seek stability, often leading to a lack of innovation and adaptability. This mindset has been particularly evident in the new energy vehicle sector, where many companies are reluctant to embrace change and invest in real innovation.
Another critical issue is the lack of "positive R&D." While China's traditional automotive industry has long been dominated by foreign technology, the new energy sector initially offered a more level playing field. However, many companies have failed to capitalize on this opportunity. Most new energy models are merely conversions of traditional vehicles, lacking true innovation. Key technologies remain underdeveloped, and product maturity is low.
Moreover, there is a lack of collaboration and integration across the industry. Companies often work in isolation, leading to redundant investments and wasted resources. As Jian Jianhua, deputy secretary-general of the China Automobile Industry Association, pointed out, some firms simply replace the engine with a battery pack without making meaningful improvements to the overall design. This approach fails to deliver the performance and safety expected from a real electric vehicle.
To move forward, the industry must shift from short-term strategies to long-term innovation. Only through genuine research and development, collaboration, and a willingness to embrace change can Chinese new energy automakers truly compete on the global stage.
