Holder for 'D' Dry Cells (Product Code: SLE/EM/17) is a snap-fit aluminium cell holder used to hold 33 mm diameter dry cells in school circuit experiments. Fahnestock clips on both sides take bare wires and leads in seconds, holes let it be fixed to a board or panel, and any number of holders can be linked in series or parallel. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

In a school circuits lesson, each group snaps a cell into a holder and clips its wires to the Fahnestock clips to power a lamp, buzzer or small motor. Adding a second and third holder in series raises the voltage and the brighter lamp makes the result obvious, while linking holders in parallel keeps the voltage the same but lets the battery last longer. Screwing a row of holders to a baseboard turns them into a permanent, reusable battery for a demonstration panel or an electricity experiment kit.
Observe cell polarity when snapping cells in, and make sure the clips grip clean, bare wire for a good contact. Remove the cells before storing the holders so that any leakage cannot corrode the aluminium or the clips.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this D-cell holder and produces it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, dealers and importers order class quantities factory-direct, so repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer itself rather than a trader; just ask us.

Which cells fit the Holder for 'D' Dry Cells?
The Holder for 'D' Dry Cells takes dry cells of 33 mm diameter, the size commonly sold as D cells, and holds each one in a snap-fit aluminium body so it stays in place during experiments.
Are cells included with the Holder for 'D' Dry Cells?
Cells are not listed as part of the Holder for 'D' Dry Cells, so plan to order them separately. Ask us through the contact page if you would like cells quoted on the same order as the holders.
How do I build a battery from several holders?
To build a battery, link the Fahnestock clips of neighbouring Holder for 'D' Dry Cells units with short wires: positive to negative for series, like to like for parallel. Any number of cells can be combined this way.
Can the Holder for 'D' Dry Cells be fixed to a board?
Yes. The Holder for 'D' Dry Cells has holes for attaching it to a board or panel, so several holders can be screwed down side by side to form a permanent battery for a demonstration or circuit board.
Who manufactures the Holder for 'D' Dry Cells?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) is the OEM manufacturer of the Holder for 'D' Dry Cells, making it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplying schools and distributors directly.
What should a bulk enquiry include?
For the Holder for 'D' Dry Cells, state product code SLE/EM/17, the number of holders, any lamp holders, leads or meters to be quoted with them, and the delivery address in India or international markets.
