Battery Snap Wire Leads

[Steve Mavronis]

Since batteries don't generate any noise themselves does it matter if you twist the battery snap wire leads together or not? Are they that subject to RF interference? I see some DIY pedals done both ways and makes me wonder.

Betteries are very-low impedance current sources. Its very unlucky to pick up any interference. Maybe if you live near a very-high power rf transmitter, but at that time youll be picking rf all over the place (in your amp, your guitar, etc)
I like to twist the battery snap just because I think it looks nice.

It's for clean wiring, not noise. Kinda like how some people use cable ties.

Yeah, I want to try some shrink wrap tubing is strategic spots (with 2 wires they fit snug without needed to heat shrink it) to make a little looped harness as a strain relief around the 3PDT base where I use a hex nut for spacing on the inside. I don't like how my braded battery snap wires ones lay. I'm making a wiring illustration for a guide and harder to make braded wire graphics anyway!

I use snips of heat shrink to keep mine together, other than that I only twist them when it helps it lay flat. Maybe 1/8 inch pieces, just little rings so it can still flex enough to get the battery out without flexing it all the way to the solder joints. If I can.

I do it as well to keep things tidy. And the nice looking part
