Batt body re-design?

[plantlvr]

OK, my brand new chrome xtra-long just rolled into a pan of soapy water into the sink when I set it down on the counter8-o
I grabbed it, dried it and it's now on the charger, but I'm just thinking if it had little 'nubs' or very small bumps on it, would that have stopped it's horrible fall? Maybe also a better grasp when you're vaping too?
I sure hope this sweet batt will be OK!

Here's an old cell phone trick that should work for PV batteries too.

1. Don't use it or charge it!

2. Dry it as well as you can and put it in an airtight container (a baggie works) along with lots of uncooked rice. Wrapping it in a paper towel will keep any "rice dust" from getting inside.

3. Leave it there for a day or 2. The dry rice will draw the moisture out.

Hope this helps someone.

Maybe just put a pen grip on it like this

Or even a basic rubber band would give it some grip to stop it from rolling.

Dang Taryn! You're always full of good ideas.

I expect Mary Kay to be along shortly to discuss color coordination!

^that's actually a great idea!

I might have to go pick up a few of those as I'm always dropping my batts at work.

I ordered a Leaford Lanyard after a dumb day of double dropping that killed one of my batts. It's pretty much hanging around my neck always now. Haven't lost a batt since.

+5 on this suggestion. It's worked for me in the past (nokia + ziplock bag+ rice)

Thanks everyone! I did charge it and it seems ok, wish I would have thought about drying it out with the rice trick. I think i will start wearing my Leaford Lanyard at home too, I usually hang it up when i get home from work, great ideas all!

I still get a BIG thrill when I hear you guys like my lanyards!
