Just a thought, why not flip the battery over so it's wires are coming from the corner of the box?
Hi I tried it the other way and it damaged the balance charging wires on the battery from test fitting.
Regards David
Was the problem the part of the corner of the box for the screw?
Dremel?
Have a look at the picture of the insides.

Err... With the appropriate iron, there should be no problem... Someone soldered the wires to the lipo tabs in the first place... You can't get any closer than that Right?
They are soldered, not welded btw in case someone is wondering...

Sent from my keyboard through my phone or something like that.
I had this same issue with the box I used, with a dremel and high speed cutter I removed the lower portion that was conflicting with the battery and left the threaded section on the "top" I installed the battery and flipped the cover so I could see the inside of the box and screwed just the one screw and lid down. The screw didn't touch the battery so all worked perfectly. If yours did you could shave down the screw some? Or if your using magnets all around that would work too
The box came from Modmaker.co.uk ModMakerBox 1005024 - Natural Aluminium
She small buttons are vamo and for the power button modmaker do studs which I ground down 5mm Diameter Metal Pins x 10
Dont laugh its my first attempt making a mod lol Regards David

Just put in my order for the Opus DNA200 from Delaware Vapors. Called them and they said that they got in about 20 and have 10 left. It will ship today according to them. From the pictures and the videos I've seen it looks like a well made mode and I'm excited to get this. I'm in NJ so it shouldn't take long from Delaware.
I'm not a fan of Delaware Vapors. They're charging $11 more than msrp.
Yeah I wasn't happy about that but it's free shipping and it should get here fast so that help in the decision making
If they only got 20 units I'm guessing they didn't get much of a discount themselves.
You may find the small button pins on eBay as "shelf pins", I had some left over from a fitted Kitchen.
I understand that they need to make a buck but charging more than msrp is slimy, IMO. They need to apply for a wholesale account and thus get wholesale pricing which should be enough margin to sell at msrp. Opus direct and HoV are selling at msrp, there's no reason DV can't do the same. And because of that $11 markup, I wouldn't buy anything else from them.
Well went hunting for flux again.
No luck. they only sell flux for like copper and strong metals. nothing intended to be used for small electronics/PCBs.
got some shrink wrap so I can properly seal off all mah soldering points.
Thinking about getting something to spray the inside of the box so that nothing can short out on the enclosure. Is any old spray paint good enough for insulating or do you need a specific type of paint?
