PCB board needed for CR123A battery holder

[snakyjake]

Anyone have the know-how to build a printed circuit board (PCB) that can attach two CR123A battery holders in parallel to be used with a hobby charger?



Ideally I'd like to have the PCB with some sort of polarity guided plus that can easily and security attach to a hobby charger (e.g. Accuel 6).

I know it would be easier to solder some wires between the two, but thought a PCB board couldn't be that difficult for some with the know-how.



Thanks,

Jake

well, you could use a 2/3A PCB mount holder like this: http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a-store/item/BH-51/2/3-AA-BATTERY-HOLDER-PC-MOUNT/1.html
and solder the thru-hole contacts with wire to one of these: http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a-store/item/TER-502/2-POSITION-PC-MOUNT-TERMINAL-STRIP/1.html
then all you would need is to wire your hobby charger through those screw-set contacts, be sure to mark which is which on the breakout so you don't wind up routing the circuit backwards. The good part about buying dedicated holders is that, the contacts are different [one is protruding and one is recessed] making it impossible to fit the cell in backwards. Depending on the gauge of wire used, it could easily accommodate 10A.

If you mean etch and drill a piece of copper clad, is it worth all that for like 4 connections? Personally I would use a piece of protoboard and connector of your choice. Molex, JST, banana...
