A question to David

[fermthe]

Hello i have bought from you 2 2900 aw batteries. My P18 came with 3 orings one is thin making the battery clinging inside the tube but im not sure if the others are exactly the same or they have a slight difference because when i use one of them it gets very tight to screw all the way the end cap and im afraid if that is going to destroy the battery.

You Precise comes with two different thickenss Orings, .070 and .100. With the 2900mAh AW, which is slightly longer than the 2600mah Aw, i recommend using one .070 thick Oring. (the thinnest of the two). The oring will compress down the last 1/2 turn or so of the cap and you will feel resistance, this is normal.

But if i use the thinest the bat is loose inside the tube.

Then based on what David responded to you, I would try the thicker one (the .100). As he said, it will be tighter right before it stops turning. Then your battery wont be loose inside the tube.

The O ring is made from a softer rubber than the battery and the O ring should flatten out, not the battery. If you still think it is too tight, try adding a washer to the bottom battery contact pin. If you add a washer then the .070 O ring will probably work.

There are many combinations available using the washers and O rings to adjust for a battery that is slightly too long or too short by a few thousandths but do it with O rings if possible as that wont affect your switch throw length. It is also easier to change the O ring when changing batteries if needed than changing washers.

Ok, then go with the .100. If that is too loose then go with two stacked .070's.
