Default 9v battery terminal blanks?

DaveC wrote:
I want to keep some NiMH rechargeable 9v batteries in my tool bag (well, my
meter bag, actually). I am currently running a double loop of electrical tape
around the entire battery to insulate the terminals.

I'd like to use something more durable (one battery has had a terminal peek
through the tape) and was thinking about something like a battery terminal
connector but made of insulating material like nylon (probably of some
cheaper plastic).

Does such a thing exist? I did web searches, but maybe my terminology isn't
spot-on...

Start harvesting the snap-on battery cords from dead electronics. Cut
the wires off short (preferably inside the vinyl housing a bit). Snap
them on -- there you are!

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" gives you just what it says.
