The eight-cell configuration provides steady 12V power that many White's circuits require, while using readily available AA batteries you can find anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome detector models use this holder by itself, while others combine it with the \u003cstrong\u003e6-cell 9V holder\u003c\/strong\u003e for dual power requirements. If you're working on older White's machines, having the correct battery holder is essential since generic alternatives rarely fit the control box properly or provide the right voltage output.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"font-bold\"\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis battery holder works with numerous White's metal detectors manufactured from 1968 through current production.
