Hello everyone, I built a mod out of a 3AA battery box using this schematic:
With most of my 510 attys (2 different sources) I only get about a 5 second draw, then the power cuts off to the atty. I have to turn the main switch off then back on and I get 5 more seconds of draw. With a couple attys it works flawlessly, sometimes indefinitely sometimes for just a while and then back to the old off/on routine. I have tried a 10 uF capacitor across all combinations of pins on the 5v regulator to no avail. Can anyone explain this problem and how to fix it? Thanks in advance
