Introduction
This USB 5V to 3V AAA Dummy Battery Eliminator cable is designed to provide continuous power to devices that typically run on two 1.5V AAA batteries. By converting a standard 5V USB input to a 3V output, it eliminates the need for frequent battery replacement, offering a convenient and eco-friendly power solution for various low-power electronic devices.
Safety Information
- Ensure the device you are powering requires 3V (equivalent to two 1.5V AAA batteries). Using it with devices requiring different voltages may cause damage.
- The dummy batteries are conductors and do not store power. They cannot be charged.
- Do not attempt to use this cable with actual rechargeable batteries simultaneously, as this may cause damage to the device or the cable.
- Keep the cable and dummy batteries dry and away from extreme temperatures.
- Always connect the USB end to a reliable 5V USB power source (e.g., USB wall adapter, power bank, computer USB port).

Maintenance and Care
- Storage: When not in use, store the cable in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Cleaning: Wipe the cable and dummy batteries with a soft, dry cloth if they become dirty. Do not use liquid cleaners.
- Handling: Avoid sharply bending or twisting the cable, as this can damage the internal wires. Do not pull the cable by the wire; always grasp the USB connector or the dummy battery housing.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Discontinue use if any damage is observed.
Troubleshooting
- Device not powering on:
- Ensure the USB power source is active and providing 5V. Try a different USB port or adapter.
- Verify that the dummy batteries are inserted with the correct polarity in the device's battery compartment.
- Check the cable for any visible damage or breaks.
- Confirm your device is designed to operate on 3V (equivalent to two 1.5V AAA batteries).
- Intermittent power or flickering:
- Ensure all connections are secure, from the USB source to the dummy batteries in the device.
- The USB power source might be unstable or insufficient. Try a different, higher-quality USB adapter.
- Dummy battery feels loose:
- The dummy batteries are designed to fit snugly. If they feel loose, ensure they are correctly seated and the battery compartment springs are making good contact.

User Tips
- For best performance, use a dedicated USB wall adapter rather than a computer USB port, especially for devices that might draw more power.
- Consider the cable length needed for your application. The 200cm option provides more flexibility for placement.
- This eliminator is ideal for stationary devices or those used near a USB power source, reducing waste from disposable batteries.
