Everyone praises them for SLR but I never saw a test done which is why I was wondering.
edit:
I think enough people started saying it and it just became "common knowledge". Similar thing happened with stainless mesh ie, lower # for thicker juice which wasn't true after testing.
Does anyone have a chart for the MNKE 1500mah IMR? I can only find one and it performed worse than the AW 1600 with v drop and mah.

Here is my #19 with the "sg-free" mod and the 8W switch:
The 8W switch makes it even shorter than the stock switch + it feels nicer to fire. I shortened the firing pin a bit and added an o-ring to shorten the throw. It was also very simple to disassemble. Currently waiting on a brass #19...
Go for SS. As long as the center pin is brass or copper, it'll be fine. There is a lot more surface area conducting on the negative section of the 510. Never had a SS 510 connector strip.
I also got a #20 apart and tried to figure out a solution to the (really dumb) switch design.
I threaded a nylon spacer to 6-32 and pressed it in from the battery to the atty connector, then screwed in two brass screws to make adjustable poles. I removed a piece of the spacer where the gap of...
Thanks pdib haha.
Yea it depends on how that spot got like that.
I end up tearing small spots on my batteries after a few months of being careless going in and out of the charger and have no issue with re-wrapping. But, if that damage was due to a short I'd just toss it and get a new one...
It depends on how much the brass pin juts out to contact the battery. Mine made contact with the battery before touching the bottom of the housing (where you placed the washer). Tilting the button would get it to fire along with a spark from the side walls. If you have the magnet in place, added...
Read that link I included - you can measure .01 ohms accurately if you wanted. Personally, I compare my performance to graphs from dependable battery testers. If it's close, then the mod isn't an issue.
That method doesn't really tell you much about the resistance of the mod as the multimeter won't be able to accurately measure such low ohms. http://www.robotroom.com/Measuring-Low-Resistances.html has a good guide.
Check the voltage of your battery with no load, then the voltage at the atty...
Measure the battery by itself, then measure at the posts of the atty while firing. I'm done modding mechanicals when the voltage drop is inline with what the battery is capable of: http://lygte-info.dk/review/batteries2012/Callies%20Kustoms%202250mAh%20%28Grey%29%20UK.html
