Your very welcome and glad it was so quick.
Mods will go into watt mode when the coil resistance doesn't behave or change as expected.
Have you tried getting another initial ohms measurement? Should be around .5-.6 ohms.
Take out the battery also forces the settings back instead of...
They do feel like they are floating or spongy. This is normal as there is two layers of double sided tape and has some give. Unless it's pealed away, should be fine.
Good work, Very well done!!
Now take that wire off the ground pad and put it on the trigger. BTW, bet the small switch is now...
The switch goes between the + voltage and trigger input. Leave the ground beside the trigger alone.
You can see how it's wired in this picture.
:science:
The power supply is indeed a good question. Many units just don't work even if rated to 6 amps. I believe it has to do with the way any one model is designed to handle initial surge. The delay before going into auto shut off mainly. I have gotten 3 different, 6 amp units that just go into over...
Cool you got a little test drive. Your charger is in the mail, you should get hopefully by next weekend.
The rear switch only takes the actual coil off line. The charger stays charging regardless.
Once it's done charging and light turns green the charging stops. It will start again at 11.x...
I'll get another charger out to you right away.
If you have an external charger or device which takes the 18650s, you can charge up externally. You'll likely get the replacement charger by the time you need to charge again. :)
It appears the charger likely blew before much got into the...
Glad shipping was so quick.
Let's try a couple things. First off., leave the rear power switch in the "on" position all the time as is only needed as a kill switch.
1/With the charger plugged into the wall but not the PS, is the light still green? This will tell us if charger died as still...
Into the bottom. Once head comes off, it will push through. Careful not to use too wide of bit, as don't want to shave the inner lip off.
Following that, I use a vise to get the new nylon insulator into the hole. It's very tight and sometimes some nylon will shave off the side. Which hasn't...
Quickest and easiest way to get the original pin out is a drill press or drill with vise. Don't need to drill right though as it will come out once the head is drilled off. Once you do a couple, you'll see.
BTW, Good stuff!
No problem. I went directly to the theory end of it. It would be the one with the lowest internal resistance which is a real number but we have to go with the provided, shaky spec of continuous current rating.
Without testing, it should be the one with highest output rating.
As for a...
I get many charge cycles out of the VCT4, lower capacity at 1500 mAh, but more cycles...?
The VCT5A looks very similar but a little higher rating. But does that translate to less cycles as well? Not sure but have tried many cells and keep going back to the VCT4s. Also, best price wise too.
But...
IMO, either of those will work fine,
I have to correct one thing though, the AWTs are actually rated for 20 amp not 40 amp as that is a manufacturer pulse test. No matter, as still enough current.
1/The running temperature of cells is a result of the cells "internal resistance". This spec is...
Yes it does, specially if your putting something non-inductive in the hole, just to turn it on. I found that if you use the VC to activate, this lid heating is much less. The VC takes most of the eddie field energy.
And yes, lol, don't put your finger there.
:p
It was nylon on the bottom. Took some pretty extreme heat to travel down the bolt. The nylon was just warm enough for the bolt to move for my Jerry rigged connection to touch ground. Don't think that should be a concern as would never drive that far in real life.
IMO, you can still use the...
I ran my Nylon vs Peek test tonight. As hoped for, the Peek won out hands down.
Note, I ran these at 8 amps constant without airflow so well beyond anything we should be running at.
The Perk ran over twice as long and was just starting to deform when the setup failed. What actually happened is...
Now that's a good question. I cut the SS tubes up just yesterday and just need to clean them up. I also now have the glass for the SFs.
A couple things I want to do first before moving forward though.
1st thing is to see if the PEEK insulators might be a better choice but want to confirm...
It is gooey indeed. It's a doubled sided gooey tape. Although it can be easily removed and feels like it's floating, it also makes it easy for the user to change out as some prefer the diametric magnets. Then again, this batch has square magnets, so the pull is centered like the diametric round...
Removing the cells should be a very rare occasion. They should be at home there until they die. Which hopefully, won't be for at least a couple years.
After that, it's :rip: for them anyway.
Just getting the first one should be a little hard, the next two come easier as you can get down the...
