Thread: Jolt-proofing batteries. I needz it!

    I tried using a spring battery pack setup and in the end I had to pull it out and make my own pack. It was killing power to the board on swings and hits.

    Not to be contentious, but a strip of velcro is about as easy as it gets, and can be adjusted to make for a nice snug fit into any hilt diameter. It solves not only the battery popping but also any rattle, knock or sliding.

    unless your name happens to be the same as one of those that actually practices martial arts with your saber - i.e. Novastar or Caine. in that case, you're still going to get occasional slips as you do your thrusts, parries, and grippes.

    I'm pretty rough on mine, as I'm sparring with guys that practice kendo. Velcro just ain't gonna cut it for these purposes.

    Ha ha ha! I don't. They do. I haven't practiced any martial arts in years.

    too late. you're already on that list. and i should probably be on that list too with all the past life regression i've done. i haven't studied any martial arts in this life but a lot of it is still very familiar to me from past lives. i'm sure you can provide some psychology analysis on that better than i can. ^_^

    Nah. I leave that to metaphysicists. Science is based on observable fact, and I can't observe past lives one way or the other. What I can observe, however, is that my batteries are jostling a little bit less with a thorough wrapping of electrical tape. Just a little bit, though. They still jostle.

    Interesting thought. I'll try it.
