Looking for 18650 battery holder for long 68mm cells

[6666]

Does anybody have a link to a battery holder for three 18650 cells that are are 68mm long ?

So far all the holders I have bought are too short
and the long protected 68mm cells with the nipple end are a really tight fit, if they fit at all,
so looking for a holder for three cells and they slide in and out Easyly.
Thanks.

Hi Bruce
Like you, I've also been looking for something like this.
Your post inspired me to go searching and I eventually found this -

https://www.batteryholders.com/part....Li-ion%2018650

It seems that they supply to Digi-Key and a few other companies listed on the page.

They are not perfect for our needs as they have 3 pairs of pcb solder pins, so some arrangement would be needed to series connect the cells.

At least it's a start - I will keep looking!
