I know this might not be the intended use of this cable:
But, can I use it to power my TC Elec Mini-Spark pedal with a battery.
i.e. Connect a battery to the snap, and plug the other (female) end of the cable into the power jack of the MiniSpark.

Seems like this idea should work?
Connect 9V battery snap to pedal power jack?

Re: Connect 9V battery snap to pedal power jack?
This will not actually work since the polarity will be reversed at the Barrel Plug.
On this cable the battery snap is intended to replace a battery, rather than connect to a battery. Just like on a 9V battery, the smaller terminal is the Positive (+) and the larger one is the Negative (-) terminal. If you then connect a Battery to these terminals it will be backward resulting in the polarity at the other end to be Center Positive.
I hope that helps!
