Replacement LR44 Battery Holder with Switch for LEDs

[miniaturecrazy22]

Last straw because I have been searching and I can't find anything. I have come to the point that I probably have to make some myself.
Can anyone help me with what the parts are, especially the circuit board. I only spotted one for 2 LR44 but I need 3.
I have spotted the cell holders and the switch and wires shouldn't be an issue either.
I can solder them myself. I've done soldering work for quite some time.

I make miniature models and book nooks which have LED lighting and this one needs this particular one that sits in a small drawer you can pull out to change batteries. The switch will be at the front. So yes to finish this one I had to grab a good one from another kit. But that needs to be replaced.

Do you need a PCB that holds three? How would you like that! the battery holders connected in series or parallel? Would you like a large order of chili fries to go with that please pick up at the next window…

If that is your work soldering, it’s better than what I have seen to purchase.
With your skill set is my opinion you can easily create your own with the components only onto a solderable PCB board…

Thank you, that's very kind of you.
Well, that's what I was thinking. I just wonder if there are ready made circuit boards like the one in the picture. That would make my life so much easier.

I found these myself. The problem is the circuit board. Like I said I saw something for 2 batteries but I need 3.

You can easily repair that board.
Or make your own with perf board.
To repair, simply scrape the area to reveal fresh copper track and solder the battery holder back on.
There are also ‘eyelets’ that you can push in the hole and solder to that.
Many ways to repair the board.

I have a few options for you:

• Like so? (Downside: you need to buy at least 1000 pcs )
• If it weren't out of stock , this one might also be an alternative. Bt you may be able to find this from another seller.
• Or buy a bunch of LED tealights and remove the battery compartment which in most cases I have seen uses 3 ×LR4/AG13 batteries.

I will give it a try.

Thank you so much everyone for helping me out. Much appreciated.
I'll try to repair it. And if that's not working I'll wire it up underneath connecting it to the pin of battery holder next to it.

What a coincidence, I was also looking for this thread. Finally landed at the right page.
