Tutorial: How to use CR1220 2 cell Battery Holder

The CR1220 2 cell battery holder is ideal for powering small electronic devices such as watches, wireless sensors or integrated circuits. This component is particularly useful for makers working on low-power projects.

What you need

• CR1220 2 cell Battery Holder
• CR1220 Batteries
• Arduino (optional)
• JST Connections

Steps

1. Insert two CR1220 batteries into the battery holder, ensuring that the polarities are correct.
2. Connect the JST connectors of the battery holder to the device to be powered or to a battery protection module (if necessary).
3. Check the output voltage using a multimeter to ensure it is within the operational limits of your project.
4. If your project includes an Arduino, connect the JST battery port connectors to the VCC and GND pins of the Arduino.
5. Monitor the battery life during use to optimize device performance.

Mini project

Create a wireless temperature sensor powered by a CR1220 2-cell battery port. Connect the DHT11 module to a digital pin on the Arduino and use the DHT library to transmit data via radio.

Common mistakes

• Insert batteries with reversed polarity
• Omit checking the output voltage before use
• Do not monitor the battery life during device use

Recommended accessories

• DHT11 module
• 3D print for the project
• RFM69HW module for wireless transmissions
• Digital multimeter
