Holder for Raspberry Pi Pico + two AA batteries

A simple holder for two batteries and a Raspberry Pi Pico (held in by friction).

The Raspberry Pi Pico can run with 1.8V or more (up to 5.5V), meaning two AA batteries or rechargeables are enough. Make sure to remove at least one of the batteries before connecting the Pico to your computer (or if you know how, use a diode to prevent the batteries from being connected to the power provided by the USB connection).

The batteries can be connected using some wire, I melted the end of the wire into the end of the tab holding the battery. Both cells are supposed to point the same way, you can wire them in series using the provided holes. The photos show one way to do it.
