Thread: Problems with the Power Couplings

    Question Problems with the Power Couplings

    I've got a situation...
    My battery holder isn't contacting with the positive end of the certain battery I have, thus resulting in not being able to power any of the parts in my saber.
    Anybody know how I can fix this situation DIY or will I need to purchase a different battery cell/battery holder?

    Well, that's an unprotected battery so I would say chalk it up as bad purchase and buy the right battery. You'll want a button top battery that is PCB/PCM protected. There are trust fires in stock now.

    You can solder a bit of metal (or just a glob of solder) to allow electrical connection. Solder to the battery holder (less dangerous) or to the battery itself (be careful of overheating!).
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

    Thank you. I bought a pack of trust fires, and I'll try what you mentioned.
