Thread: Recharge Port wires

  1. #1

    Exclamation Recharge Port wires

    I've seen lot of recharge ports in the pommel of the saber, attached to pommel insert. So, my question is:

    How you guys keep the 3 wires coming from the recharge port in good shape, while they twist very badly every time the pommel is screwed on?

    Thank you

    You should pre-twist you wires 7 turns counter-clockwise. That way, when you screw the pommel on, it un-twists them. Hopefully that helps.

    I know some people also will leave the insert "floating" so to speak and anchor it to their chassis with a rod, this way it stays where it is when the pommel goes on.

    I know LDM did it recently....*goes to try to find a pic for you*

    This was the best i could do, i think he showed it in a video...You might PM him for pics of what I'm talking about.

    If you have a recharge port, you don't need to keep unscrewing the pommel, that's part of the reason for having an actual recharge port.

    If you're only using it for a kill key, then I'd locate it somewhere else. Since you will need to open the saber to change/recharge batteries.

    If you are going through the effert of making the kill key why not just wire up rechargeables?

    idk. I just feel like Im not ready for those yet. I will use rechargeable NiMh batteries, but they won't be in-hilt rechargeable.

    Usually if its in the pommel.. most people un-screw the nut that secures the recharge port..

    so it can spin freely in the pommel insert..
