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...

Ideas?

Congratulations, Michael! You're the winner!


Thanks. Keystone has always had odd, but useful niche products. They
came through lots of times, when no one else came close. They also have
the best 9 volt battery connectors I've ever used. I used to repair VHF
walkie talkies and used their part number 83 for the replacement battery
packs I built, and the OEM packs that were built with the five cent
chinese parts.

FIVE CENTS!!??!! Solid gold were they?
