Battery Springs?

[UnFettered_Soul]

Anyone know where I can get at least one?
COV is out of stock at the moment, and I'm in "desperate" need of one.
Mine is kinda squished, and my GG is running hot.
Thanks!

I made one out of a paper clip by straightening it out and winding it around a thin pair of pliers. It held up fine until I could get one from CoV. No joke!

I like pen springs personally.

You can use the GGTS without the spring. I use mine like that all the time, just be aware that if you feel your button hot you have a short and you should stop and check your atty, ody, iatty etc. It actually hit very well without the spring

Gee, never thought of that one. That's a great tip! Much easier than wrapping your own!!!

I bought all they had this week. I ended up with a bad battery and by the time I realized it I ruined 2 springs so I stocked up just in case.

Send me your addy via PM and I'll send you one.

I've got a few as well. PM me if you still need one.

Thanks so much you guys!
All of you.

I have a spring coming.... kindness of others....
I do appreciate the offers.

I did a tear down/rebuild and even with the squished spring, it's working much better.

I don't know what I did in the first place. I'm usually careful with measuring and what not.
But it's hopefully fixed now.

I haven't tried it without the spring.... thought it was "supposed" to be there.
Don't know what I did to squish it either. LOL

You had a short almost for sure, the spring got red hot and shrank. GGTS without spring works fine - if you have the fusekit installed you also don't have a battery spring, so the spring is more of a convenience feature.
Anyways - great that you have a new spring and its always nice to see people helping each other out!

Seeing as this thread seems to be solved, what aboot an alternative for a button spring? Mine got lost and I can't find the spring size online. Even a link to some magnets would work

I've used a battery spring in a pinch. Might try the ballpoint pen spring...

Yo funky I think I have a spare coming with my Ody, I can probably hook you up dude.

Awesome stuff dude. I think I might have one now, I shot Bruce an email and asked him if he could toss one in. I hope he gets it. I'll keep you posted. Especially with Penelope
