That would make more logical sence. I don't understand how a chip would protect from a hard battery short (torn wrap)
Lemme know how ya like it, when ya receive yours
I got one of my replacement chips today in the mail. Same "rugged" edges (not fully sanded) like the chip that came with my mod but the rest of the module looks in better shape. It seems/feels to be outputting slightly more voltage than the previous, guessing due to better solder job. Still testing for battery cuttoff though
Gonna experiment with mine when I receive it. Its honestly my first Mech-like mod. Kinda excited hah
