• RC toys, small gadgets, and mobile power packs

Installation and Wiring Notes

• Install two 18650 cells following polarity marks inside the holder.
• By default the holder is set up for series wiring for higher voltage (approx. 7.4V). Rewiring the contacts can produce a parallel arrangement if desired; do not reconfigure unless you understand battery wiring and safety.
• Use the pre-soldered red wire for positive output and black wire for negative output. Secure connections and insulate exposed joints.
• Verify switch operation before final assembly into your project enclosure.

Safety and Handling

• Use only protected, matching 18650 Li-ion cells from reputable manufacturers.
• Do not short-circuit the terminals. Keep the snap-on cover in place during transport.
• Do not expose the holder to water, extreme heat, or physical damage.
• Always charge batteries with a suitable charger and monitor cell balancing when using multiple cells.
