Am I the only one?

[pineneedle]

I must be a clutz or something, but, I have lost the little battery button on 2 of my 90l manual bats. I was wiping it off and the next thing I knew the button was gone. Turned around a few days later and did it again. Looked everywhere, but the little suckers are small. Got any idea on how to fix it? Is there something I can make or use? Thanks is advance for your help.

Welcome to the disappearing battery button club! This happened to me, too, but I was able to find mine and put them back in their little slots.

However, while inspecting the battery while the button was off, I noticed a small electronic "paddle" under where the button would be. If you can find a way to push that in, it should work. I'm not sure about conductivity - use something non-conductive (plastic, wood, rubber) just to be on the safe side and not short the battery.

You may have to order replacement batteries from another vendor to fix this problem. BTW - you're not the first person to post about this on this forum, if it makes you feel any better. Good luck.

thanks, for your reply. I am going to try to make something to work. I have some mold making stuff. Stays rubbery so maybe it will work will let everyone know if it does

yes I did this same thing. I found it inside the paper towel I had wiped it off with.

I had ordered my manual batteries from awesomevapor. When I lost a cover from one I emailed arno. He sent me several replacement covers.
