This adapter consists of the printed circuit board that has snaps to hold either:
  • 2 each 9 Volt batteries
  • 4 each 9 Volt batteries
  • 1 each battery holder that has 10 each AA batteries
in addition there is a battery holder for 2 each AA batteries that can be placed in series with the 10 AA holder for a total of 12 AA batteries.  Note that it is the users choice which type and number of batteries are used. The 68BA ships with all of the battery holders, mounting screws and special cut packing foam for the battery box.
