Thanks for this! Can you please share the BOM file?
I placed my order already!

I will add it on OpenHardware.io

In what capacity do you get the AA size LiFeP4 batteries ?

@GertSanders
OK, I have a couple of 14500 LiFeP4 3.2V each. They are only 600mA. They are not my favourite though. I also have (1) lithium rechargeable AA 1500mA 1.5V (charging 5V from USB) and (2) NiZn AA 1.6V 2200mA - these are my favourite so far.

The problem for me is that my new charging device has not arrived yet from China and I cannot charge NiZn. I have discharged a few and did not a chance to charge them

Is there a case/housing available instead of printing an own one?

[GertSanders]

@gloob

No, this board was not made for a specific housing. It just fits the dual AA(A) battery holders.

Thanks for your feedback. Do you have a link for a AA battery holder? I could only find AAA holders with pins.

[alexsh1]

@gloob have you tried to use google? There are plenty of 2xAA holders on eBay as well.

When you read the data sheet correctly you can see, that the distance between the pins is different for a AA and AAA battery holder. That`s why I was asking if somebody can recommend a holder that fits.
