DIY Battery Eliminators: Man's Homemade CR2032 Device Sparks Interest

DIY enthusiasts have been exploring creative solutions for battery eliminators, with a man, whose name remains unknown, making waves with his homemade CR2032-powered device. Meanwhile, safety measures like using fuses in the line are encouraged to prevent accidents.

The unknown inventor's first attempt at a battery eliminator used two brass disks with Velcro spacers and soldered wires connected to a power supply. Despite its thickness, which might be an issue for some holders, the fake battery worked but could potentially cause short circuits. David Watts, another enthusiast, also created a battery eliminator using brass blanks for CR2032 battery-driven gear.

Experimenting with different solutions is encouraged, including 3D printing a battery eliminator. However, care must be taken to ensure the power supply handles ripple well. Commercial options are also available, often as wall transformers with selectable voltage and multiple barrel jacks.

DIY battery eliminators, while offering creative solutions, require careful consideration of safety measures like using fuses. Both homemade and commercial options exist, catering to different needs and preferences.
