lessons learned on pill wrap

I recieved a 5.6 amp quad yesterday and wrapped the pill with soda can strips. I got 3.3 amps, after swapping out host no luck but direct hook up got 5.58 amps. I rewrapped with foil that has no printing on it and got 5.56 amps. I never would have thought that printing on a soda can would have given so much resistance.

I don't know what the paint on the outside is made of, but the inside part of the can has a plastic coating on it, and it does not conduct electricity. You'll get good results if you scrub both sides with a Scotch pad or steel wool to get it down to bare Alu.
