First dead eGo battery resurrected

[Cisco]

I have been using the eGo batteries exclusively with LR atties since Jan. After 4 months of constant use I finally killed one of the batteries ( the other battery is moaning as I type this... ). I didn't want to throw the electronics away and waste them so I decided to machine a new longer tube and put in a 750mAh cell and reuse the electronics. THe eGo tube is SS and very thin, I only had aluminum available so it is a little thicker. The cell is 100mAh higher and about 1/2" longer then a regular eGo.

Here is the result...

Cisco...

Top notch job
Does the standard charger still work with this battery?

Man, that’s cool! I just had my first Tornado batt die too, wish i had the skill to fashion something like that! I would probably set myself on fire if I attempted that......lol
Good Job!

Wow...

What is that battery you are using?
How long does it take you to machine something like that? That is awesome!

Wow...

<puts away all modding stuff until 1/4 of this level of skillz are achieved>

Hey, Cisco!
Nice work!
I used to be a manual machinist. Now I draw pictures of things on a computer in 3D for other people to make. I miss the shop.
Good thread work. Single point? CAM?

Can you do a production run of these?

Man, this is just like the Wild West or the Industrial Revolution or...what was that name of that last fiasco from Silicon Valley? I jest.

This is really, really interesting! Wide open territory.

Really nice job on that. It seems to be the same size and power as the new Ego XL that is coming out in June. You beat Janty to the market on this one.

 

[KuiHiggins]

That... is... INCREDIBLE!!!

*begs for a step by step*

Do my eyes deceive me, or is the batt from the Ego an unprotected batt?
