Hi,

I think this could be a nice product to add: an 2/3A cell holder (for CR123 battery).

This format is quite popular for 3v lithium and now 3.7v li-ion cell. But holders are very hard to find.

I have found some surplus 2/3AA holder (cell is smaller in diameter), they can be used after bending the cell holder, but this is far from perfect.

I use these ones from Digikey.

Well, I am outside US, so no digikey :frowning:

I can get them from Farnel, but minimum order and S&H are far exceeding the price of the holder itself or sparkfun S&H fee…

PS: hey I just checked digikey homepage, they have now a french-friendly site. S&H free for 100$+ orders…
