FYI- Don't lube your threads

[mtw4shore]

So I feel resistance on my threads when I change my batteries for my Vtube mini. I think to myself,"Clean them you dope!" So I get some cotton balls and rubbing alchohol, and clean them good. I think how smart I am by putting some petrolium jelly on the threads- just like my mag-light.
After that, I magically am having problems with my batteries not reading right and going dead almost immediately. Not being good with remembering something I did just a few hours before, (especially if I slept in between), I do not associate the two. I put them on the charger and they are charged after .5 seconds. So I think that the charger is messing up on me, and send Apollo a not so nice e-mail about their lame equipment, and buy a charger from a battery store.
Then it hits me that pj is not a good conducter of electricity, and that I have hosed up the connection, I clean the threads again.
Wham, it is working.

Ha ha ha. Hopefully you let the charger vendor know everything turned out OK.

lube the threads wtih noalax

ideal sells many conductive jelly's for electrical use,a quick stop at home depot electric department might be just what you need

Dielectric grease. Its used for spark plug boots. it will conduct electricity and you can get a tube of it at any auto parts store for like 2 bucks

downside to Dielectric grease is that it is highly toxic but i would assume that most mods wont take any air from the battery compartment tho anyways

I agree about the Noalox. A dab on battery connector also.
