[Microbit-Python] Battery connector and battery holder

[Damien George]

Hi Tom,

I hope this reply is not too late!  I looked at the options for the
battery pack and the one with 2x AA would be perfect:
https://www.kitronik.co.uk/2268-2x-aa-battery-box-with-switch-and-connector.html
.  That would give you about 3v for the microbit which is what it
needs.  It can run from between 1.8v and 3.6v, so you definitely don't
want more than 2x AA's.

Cheers,
Damien.
