Thank you TA, couldn’t have asked for a more precise and accurate answer by the most knowledgeable, greatly appreciated,
So the key is putting the carriers in backwards is the concern, now that I can see could be a problem and considering that recently I blew up a light by inserting a cell backwards, for the first time ever, that damage from a single cell was amazing, so couldn’t imagine the consequence here so I’ll be using thin plastic disks and a dab of hot glue to hold it in place.
Thank you sir…! :+1:
Exactly, basically thats a direct short from + from carrier to - (housing)
But since i dont have my GT yet, isn’t the inside of the cap anodized?
Offcourse, insulation will be much more safe.
Glad I decided to potentially embarrass myself with what I thought was a rather stupid question, always like to know before I make a stupid mistake, the part I didn’t know was the inserting the carriers backwards being the reason, now that made sense,
Ok thanks,I’ve searched 5 page’s back and didn’t find it…
Important information like that should be more transparent,even if thread is locked,otherwise we will see lots of refund request
I plan to have the thread unlocked tomorrow. I was busy today and knew there would be a lot of posts when it is unlocked and wanted to be available to answer any questions.
After tearing up several cheap plastic strap wrenches (Sears, northern tool, harborfreight, ebay, etc…) I received a great tip from TomE to try out the BOA BO13010 Constrictor Aluminum Strap Wrenches. Available through Amazon and other places. I lend mine out frequently, and they have paid for themselves 100 fold over the past 4 years that they have been abused. Also great for many other uses around the shop.
I charged up all my cells just before I got my GT, I used it a little to show off and what not, then it has been off ever since. Got it out today and it wouldn’t ramp up past about half way. Put the cells on the charger and they are almost completely flat… Its only been a little over a month…
Yes, if you have a reasonably good multimeter you can measure the parasitic drain directly without a lot of work, although you might need a second set of hands to hold wires in place.
