Core Skill: Electrical Prototyping
If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Noob - You don't need to reference a datasheet, but you will need to know basic power requirements.

Low quality for sparkfun
I ordered a batch of these and they were of surprisingly bad quality. On a number of these, the plate did not touch the center battery and I had to bend it to get it to make a connection. I use these in my summer science camp and at some point, most fail either because there is no good connection to the center battery and because the switches fail. I wish sparkfun would get a better supplier. I would happily pay a little more for something that I can plan my camps around.

I picked up a few of these from another source a few months ago. They're nice, sturdy battery holders. You should carry the four AA ones for 5 volt devices that have a voltage regulator in them. (Like arduino)
Id very much like to see 3xAAA with switch
Picked up one of these to upgrade my Minty Boost and have a hard off switch. This case fits nicely in a Penguin Mints tin.
