Another UK supplier

Amazon reviews say they don't fit very well and fall off.

Some battery manufactures only fit a small plastic cap over one terminal
to prevent accidental shorting.

why not just take the connector plate off an old battery and cover the
plate back with epoxy?

Yes- Duracell Pro used to come with them. Threw them away by the hundred.

Is that for PP3 batteries? It doesn't say; there is more than one kind
of 9V battery with clip on connectors.

The dimensions on their datasheet match PP3

I bet it would cost less than the 12p each. ;-)

But I guess it depends on how you factor such things. eg. Do you
amortise the price of the kitchen and all the appliances you use when
you cook a meal?

I wouldn't have bought (built) the printer to print a PP3 cap but
could (easily since Mark provided the dimensions g) and do so
cheaply now I have. Filament is roughly £15 quid / kg and the
electricity wouldn't run to much for something that small.

Just solder a wire across the terminals and cut it when you want to use
the battery. Easy.

Why does that sound plausible as well as ridiculous?

Oh I know, that's what they did to moving-coil multi meters to protect
them during shipping.

I once had an argument with the proprietor of an electronics shop when
I tried to return a faulty meter, they said I had invalidated the
warranty by opening it and snipping the wire.

I just wrap a couple of turns of PVC tape around the battery.

I would, which is why I haven't brought a high end coffee machine for me instant is good enough I'm glad I don't apprieciate fine coffees or wines.
If I had a PP3 battery at home that needed protecting I;d stick a bit of insulation tape over the terminals, or find the tops at work from the boxes of 10 PP3s we buy, and with a bit (a lot) of luck I'll find the safe place where I put those rubber cap tops which I knew would be useful in the future.


I wouldn't have bought (built) the printer to print a PP3 cap but
could (easily since Mark provided the dimensions g) and do so

Do you factor in your time too, that is one thing our students don't think of.

How long do you think it would take you to design such a thing ?
For sucha small thing I'm not sure you're average 3D printer would print accuratly enough for a snug fit, would be fun trying it.

Should have tried his testicales.

I would have thought he'd got better results by not using the used batteries.

Don't you think the reason he had the old batteries was because he was
responsible for swapping them from equipment as part of his job?
But he wouldn't have wanted to splash out £350 on 244 new alkaline PP3s
just for a laugh ...

Like I do you mean.

I wouldn't either but if he's swapping them like I do then yuo woulkd have new batteries to use and I suggest he would have got better results from less than half those number of battreis if he hadn't of used old one, that's all.
He was gettign under 1000 volts from 244 9V batteries.
He he'd usedf 111 9V battereis he would have got the 1KV and the current capacity of a new 9V battery, rather than 1KV with 244 batteries with less current due to the higher internal resistance of the older/used batteries.

Qs you can't or won't anwser.

From the subject title.

If anyone came to you and asked you for a cap for a PP3 battery, how long would it take you to design the object and print it ?
When I'd hand the student a piece of insulation tape and ask them why they can't use this.

I tried that: the wire got very hot and the battery did not work well
afterwards.

I did that with a shottky diode across a DC motor. It got hot enough to
unsolder itself.

It survived.
