“…….whether the eneloop issue is spring length or positive post width, remains unclear to me
I would speculate that chipping the insulation off the component that is too close to the brass post on the driver, could enable a Ti2 to become eneloop friendly, without cutting the spring… I dont know if chips of insulation getting broken off by the battery, is the actual reason that arow55’s lights started working… Im glad he got them to work though, either way… Im not trying to doubt the report, that spring cutting was associated with a non eneloop friendly Ti2, becoming less prejudiced against phat posts.”
Ya know, I didn’t intentionally initially chip the components corners either. That happened when I put a little extra torque rotating the head. I heard a slight ’krik!” and I thought, well Notta now it’s
really fooked up. Anyway even beyond that obscene abuse it still werks. Tough little flash!
Anywho, since I got 9 more still in their boxes I suppose I could very carefully grind off more of the component’s base and see if that’ll werk. Or I can cut off ANOTHER coil.
Watt the heck ACT II. Off with another coil it is!
Stay tuned. I’ll be back.
