Thanks Poconojo, I think you should treat yourself and order a cold one next
One pint of Guinness please!
Last couple of days I took the Simplicity out on a short trip, no backup. I've been using it a LOT. This morning it was giving me fits with misfires.
When I got it home I took it apart the see what was up. My bottom post was black with oxidation, sandpaper fixed me right up. I'm not used to thinking about the contacts on a Super-T.

Hi folks,
For those who took interest in the tobeco 26XXX kayfun I described earlier, I've figured out a way to run it in short mode -- about half the height of a standard kayfun, it holds just shy of 5 mils of juice -- and looks friggin awesome on a simplicity. Here's a link to my post on how to get it set up...

Hope this helps someone out there...

I haven't had to do any maintenance on mine yet, but plan on using a scotch-brite pad vs sandpaper. We use them at work to clean current carrying contacts, without removing any metal.
Thanks for the tip!
I was amazed at how black it was, snuck up on me. Took like two passes over the paper and it was gone.
Thanks Durty -- and thanks again for steering me to my simplicity mod. Loving it every day!

Just a heads up that we'll also have some Palladium posts for the Simplicity 26650/26500 line too. Even if you have the brass ones and like them, they can be your spare set as it's always nice to have some extras.
Though the bottom post of the 26XXX fits, but not the top and unfortunately I have no spare top posts of the 18000 simplicity line.
I was sweating that one. Plated posts are an absolute necessity and the Super-T hallmark. Naked brass just wasn't cutting it in my 26650 with the use it gets. I'm a happy camper now.

Are the palladium posts just for reducing oxidisation / maintenance or do they also assist voltage drop ?
Technically, oxidation is what is causing your voltage loss, Precious Metal plating doesn't oxidize, so in of it itself, it prevents voltage drop by not allowing oxidation. Heres a complete explanation on why Rhodium and Palladium work so well:
