Thanks Isaac. I rolled the dice on the fleabay set, so we'll see. Dino is definitely a china outlet.

Figures...I really hope it works out Racer. I'm sweaten bullets right along side of you.

EDIT: You should be fine actually. I'm still waiting on those ultrafires to finally arrive but I did bore yours out though

For me, I'm not in the weeds on this, so I'm not sweating it. I have a plan B in action, so this is just a minor inconvenience. If my business depended on it, then that's a big deal. You're not the only one with battery supplier issues, so we all know you're not pulling anyones chain.

Plan B huh? Sounds like you have a set mission here! I'm a bit of worrier, if anything is ever wrong, especially with a customer's experience of any sort, I feel a very compelling need to try to make it right the best that I can. *scrub scrub scrub* gotta make it clean! lol
I see what your saying about the battery issue landing on other suppliers' door steps, I seen one even go above and beyond by actually taking pictures of the same battery brand and model and the difference was Huge!

Yeah, plan B, and plan C is getting ready to be ordered. It was a BIG bonus, and I'm in experimentation mode
I'm in the supply business also, so I'm understanding of your worries. Going above and beyond will keep and get you new customers. As a customer, I set myself up for the worst, especially if a known issue is looming, knowing a supplier is also dependant on his sources. I ordered knowing batteries could be a minor setback, so it's no skin off my back nor any flaming the vendor posts.

My second set of batteries had a huge difference and I am still waiting on another set. Can I buy a spacer and it will work?????? HELP!!!!!

 

[Iken]

Hi Tina!
What kind of huge difference?
Edit: If it's just the length being the only difference, you can fix this problem very easily.Just remove the Black O ring on the bottom cap

 

[HzG8rGrl]

Tried that already. No workie still have about 1/2 ml. will work for a sec, then have to shake it to make it work. rrrrggghhhh!

 

[HzG8rGrl]

I am out of town right now, can you save me one of each hv atty? Will get them Thursday night or Friday morning. My CC I use is at home.

 

[Iken]

Whoa! What kind of battery is that? Too small in length without the O ring?? insanity!

 

[HzG8rGrl]

I'll send picks after I get home-do I get the spacer thing or will that not work and just keep shaking till I get more bats?

 

[Iken]

Yow, no shaking, thats just too odd. I know all a spacer is, is a tiny piece of metal, people even go as far as to use Us Dimes as spacers.

 

[HzG8rGrl]

will the battery still be able to conduct through the dime?

 

[Iken]

Really almost any metal at will do, just as long as it's making contact, I just cant get my head around of a battery not fitting length wise. With the ring off, everything on the unit looks completely sealed? No gaps anywhere?

 

[RatRacer]

I can't get how shaking makes it work somewhat.

 

[HzG8rGrl]

yep, i can feel it move when i shake it down. It is at home, saw no use in bringing it with me, *boo-hoo*. Not happy with out my Chameleon. If I put your bats and atties and a bottle of juice in my cart will it stay there till friday?

No it won't, just tell me exactly what you would like me to hold for you. I gotcha.
If skaing is making it work, it just means its like a half of a hair to short. Like holding it level will make it wirk fine, I really don't think a dime is the answer because that alone might be too think in width and and size. When you make it home, lets check the unit itself for any gaps. If there is even the smallest gap, we can fix it very easily.

There's the acronym, lol UF 16340. Ultrafire. Not a problem though, it should fit just fine, the button sector may need to be tightened a bit. With O ring off, of course.
