Subject: Re: [geda-user] Footprints for NiCd, NiMh, Liion, Lipo, Pb PCB
 battery holders ( not SMT )?

A good place to start would be looking at gedasymbols.org, to see if
anything there suits your needs.

Another good source of symbols would be the set of libraries for KiCad

https://kicad.github.io/footprints/Battery

This library can be downloaded and unzipped using the p7zip-full
package (if using debian/ubuntu) with a command like

7za x Battery.pretty.7z

This will result in footprint files (called modules in kicad) like

BatteryHolder_TruPower_BH-331P_3xAA.kicad_mod

These can be converted to gEDA PCB format with a utility like the one found at

https://github.com/erichVK5/translate2geda

alternatively, if one uses pcb-rnd ( http://repo.hu/projects/pcb-rnd/
) , these can be loaded directly, as pcb-rnd has built in support for
the kicad module format.

Another good source of footprints would be some of those distributed
for Eagle  CAD, i.e.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sparkfun/SparkFun-Eagle-Libraries/master/SparkFun-Batteries.lbr

which again can be converted with the translate2geda utility.

pcb-rnd can also load an Eagle library as a layout, as it has built in
support for the file format, provided the version is not too bleeding
edge (pcb-rnd will also cope with the older binary layout and module
format). As a test, I just loaded a v7.5 eagle battery library as a
layout in pcb-rnd, and was able to disperse the displayed subcircuits.
pcb-rnd can also be told to use such a library file or a board file as
a source of elements for insertion on a current layout.

Regards,

Erich
