About This Battery Holder

White’s designed this penlight holder as a core component across their detector lineup for good reason. The eight-cell configuration provides steady 12V power that many White’s circuits require, while using readily available AA batteries you can find anywhere.

Some detector models use this holder by itself, while others combine it with the 6-cell 9V holder 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.

Compatibility

This battery holder works with numerous White’s metal detectors manufactured from 1968 through current production. The plastic housing fits standard White’s control box configurations and connects to the detector’s power harness without modifications.
