I don’t know if anyone has fat fingers like I do, but I found it difficult to remove batteries from the Vapcell S4 Plus, especially when bay #2 or #3 were completed with batteries on either side.
I designed a simple tool in OnShape that mounts to the back of the charger which can be used to pop batteries out easily. Hope this helps someone else!
My removal method is to push down on the battery with a few fingers (to get enough friction) and then slide battery downwards. However, since I have a 3D printer I’ll probably try out your model.
I just bought that charger and was surprised the maker never thought about the batteries needing to be removed, it seems like adding just a 1/4 inch off vertical wing on the spring loaded holder would suffice, just something that a fingertip could hook onto to pull it back.
Nice idea, and nice execution.
For the people who don’t have access to a 3D printer: before you push the cell in the charger, place a piece of ribbon cross over the bay where you put the cell in. When you want to take out the cell, pull both ends of the ribbon. Just keep a finger on/over the cell to prevent it from being launched.
