Is this what you are looking for? I am not electronically skilled, so I am unsure exactly what a single 12v Battery holder is to be honest.

Its a 23A looks like a small "N" type battery - not a watch battery.

I can get you one if you would like and send it along with that other item we discussed...?
I got my 12V holder at a local Electronics shop.
Let me know!

For any kind of electronics you should check these guys first:

http://www.allelectronics.com/

They are local to me so I often find myself going in there just to check out what they've got. However, they are great to deal with online from what I understand from my costuming buddies, many of whom live far enough from Van Nuys, CA to where going there would be a major expedition.

Great prices on excellent stuff, both for working electronic parts and for greeblie/nurnie hunting.

BLW Did you know that An "N" Battery Holder will also work for the 23A's.

I Actually just recently was looking for them too and Some one at Radio Shack told me that An "N" holder will do the Job:

I needed them for my Snub Project: http://propsummit.com/viewtopic.php?t=625

I tried the 12v in the "N" holder and the LEDs worked but the battery got super hot. Did you find this as well in your buildup?

Thanks

You might have to get A higher ohm rated resistor.
Do not forget to hook up the resistor to the + wire on the Holster and than the LEDS after that.
May I ask what is your project?
is it A Blaster too?

This Website Might Help.

Try a low voltage, I use a 3 volt battery on my models and hook the LEDs parallel.
