Battery Holder for 1 Rechargeable 18650 Cell TST AKC-X1/18650-V2

Battery Holder for 1 Rechargeable 18650 Cell TST AKC-X1/18650-V2 is a single-cell mounting and connection solution designed to accept one standard 18650 lithium-ion rechargeable cell. The holder provides a stable mechanical seat and electrical contacts suitable for DIY electronics, flashlights, power banks and small repair projects. It is configured for easy insertion and removal of the cell and offers solderable or wire-attachable terminals to integrate the cell into a device or circuit.

Advantages

This battery holder combines a compact form factor with reliable contact pressure to ensure consistent electrical connection with a single 18650 cell. The design simplifies replacement and maintenance by allowing tool-free insertion and extraction while terminals provide options for soldering or direct wiring. The construction is suitable for hobbyist and repair use, offering a straightforward way to mount a rechargeable cell without modifying the battery.

Suitable for

• DIY electronics and prototyping where a single 18650 cell is required
• Replacement or repair of flashlights and portable lighting
• Small power bank assemblies and custom battery packs
• Educational projects and hobbyist circuitry using a single cell

Key specifications

• Cell type supported: 18650 rechargeable lithium-ion cell (single-cell)
• Mounting style: inline single-cell holder with spring/contact mechanism
• Terminal type: solderable pads or wire attachment points for positive and negative contacts
• Material: insulating plastic body with metal contact terminals
• Operation: tool-free insertion and removal of battery

How to use

Orient the 18650 cell according to the polarity markings on the holder and press the cell into the seat until the contacts engage. Verify that the cell is seated securely and that the holder’s spring or contact plate maintains pressure against the cell terminals. Connect the holder terminals to your circuit by soldering wires to the provided pads or attaching wires to the designated connection points. Ensure correct polarity and, where applicable, include required protection circuitry such as protection PCB, charging module or current limiting components in the final assembly.

Usage recommendations

Use only undamaged, compatible 18650 rechargeable cells and follow standard safety practices for lithium-ion batteries, including correct polarity, appropriate charging methods, and avoiding short circuits or exposure to excessive heat. For applications with charging or multiple-cell arrangements, incorporate proper protection and balancing circuits as required.
