Making a "Dummyloop" a Dummy AA Battery, easy mod

[Old-Lumens]

@Yellowhorse

Great idea and nicely done. I can do this at home. I might try hammering out the negative end to enlarge it instead of soldering a seperate piece on. Probably depends on how malleable the copper I get is though. Just a thought.

If you put the copper wire in a vise, (leave about 1/4" sticking above the vise) and heat the wire till it is red hot, then let it cool, you should be able to use a small hammer to lightly tap it into a flat.

Thanks.

What's the internal burden resistance (Ohm's) of it? ;)

As soon as you tell me how the heck to do that, I will jump on it. I don't think I have the resources and for sure I don't have the knowledge. If someone wants to test this, I would gladly send it out.

Very nice Old Lumens, thanks a lot for sharing! Dummy batteries are a useful thing to have around, I’ve either used them or wished I had one around quite a few times. So what exactly are you going to use this for, if I can ask?

There are times I want to only use 5AA instead of 6AA or 7AA instead of 8AA. It's also good if someone wants to use a 14500 in a 2AA light.
