The Battery Eliminator Kit

Battery eliminator kits are an alternative and economical way to power your flameless LED candles and other electronic devices that are heavily used or left on for extended periods of time. These kits are designed to replace and eliminate traditional batteries in electronic devices that use AAA, AA, C, D, 9V and various types of coin cell and button batteries. Stop changing out dead batteries and start saving money! Stop worrying about whether your battery powered electronic devices are turned off or in the timer mode!

Not all electronic devices that use traditional batteries are good candidates for battery eliminator kits. A few things to consider when determining if a battery powered electronic device is a good candidate for a battery eliminator kit are:

  • Flameless LED candles that are sitting on a shelf near an electrical outlet and rarely (if ever) get moved.
  • Desktop water fountains that are near an electrical outlet and have taken up residence on your desk at home or work.
  • Fire or smoke detectors in a workshop area that has an electrical outlet nearby.
  • Smart water faucets.
  • Holiday decorations such as snow villages, ornaments, motion activated Halloween “spookies”, etc.
  • Pet doors and pet feeders.
  • Wall clocks.


If the answers to these questions are “YES”, then a battery eliminator kit is the perfect solution for you!
Here are a few good examples of battery powered electronic devices that are good candidates for battery eliminator kits:

  • A flameless LED candle that is sitting on a shelf near an electrical outlet and rarely (if ever) gets moved.
  • A desktop water fountain that is near an electrical outlet and has basically taken up residence on your desk at home or work.
  • A fire or smoke detector in a workshop area that has an electrical outlet nearby.
  • Smart water faucets.
  • Holiday decorations such as snow villages, ornaments, motion activated Halloween figurines, etc.
  • Pet doors and pet feeders.
  • Wall clocks.


An example of a battery powered electronic device that is not a good candidate for a battery eliminator kit is a flashlight since it is typically constantly being moved around and is usually not near an electrical outlet. Lanterns, on the other hand, can sometimes be good candidates since they might be stationary for long periods of time if they are on a picnic table outside and near an outdoor electrical outlet.


The components that make up a battery eliminator kit are listed below:

  • An AC to DC wall power adapter. This adapter plugs into a standard electrical outlet and converts the 120VAC into the appropriate DC voltage needed by the electronic device. This DC voltage is dependent on the number and type of batteries used in the device.
  • An active dummy cell battery that goes into one of the spaces in the battery compartment and plugs into the AC to DC wall power adapter by means of a plug at the end of a thin flat flexible cable (FFC cable). Since this FFC cable is thin, it can run around most battery compartment covers.
  • Passive dummy cell batteries that go into the other spaces in the battery compartment and complete the circuit. The number of passive dummy cell batteries required depends on the number of batteries used in the device. For example, if the device uses 4 x AA batteries, then you will need 1 x AA active dummy cell battery and 3 x AA passive dummy cell batteries.


Since our AC to DC wall power adapters can supply more power than is needed for a single flameless LED candle, you can power multiple electronic devices with a single power adapter with our optional power splitter cables which are available in 2-way, 3-way, 4-way, 5-way, 6-way, and 8-way. We also sell power extension cables for powering electronic devices that are located some distance away from the electrical outlet. These power extension cables are available in lengths ranging from a few inches up to several feet. All of the power cables that make up a battery eliminator solution can easily be hidden behind furniture, plants, and under tablecloths, rugs, decorative snow, etc.


Additional accessories are also available such as replacement & additional active and passive dummy cell batteries, and AC to DC wall power adapters.


The visible components in our battery eliminator kits and accessories are available in a standard black color, and most of our kits and accessories are also available in a special white color to better blend in with white or lighter colored decors.
