Forgive me if this is answered elswhere (don't think it is) I have a battery leak/explosion issue.
I just built an led saber with a luxion 3 light and 1000 buckpuck. I followed the newb instructions to a tee and had a working light without a problem. An hour or so after I put it all together and after about three minutes of being powered on I heard a small pop and a fizz. One of the batteries had popped and leaked. The light was still on however as the ciruit was still complete.
I don't want to kill more batteries so I haven't tested again to see if it would happen.
Anyone know how to prevent this / what's causing this? I have 6AA pack with a 1000 buckpuck, a quick connect, and a luxion 3 led, all connected properly (I quadrupal checked). I know a backwards connection can cause this but I have checked for that already. Too many AA's, bad batteries, known issues?
