Ok guys, this is obviously the place to go for stuff like this. My ipv Mini II is running with the YiHi SX130 V7.0 chip, online, they say it has a different YiHi chip, the SX330V2C, I don't know if it is because I have the souvenir edition, or just the shop I went to got the original ipv Mini chips but updated, still functions like the 330V2C, but yet it's different. Can someone explain this to me? Thanks

By the way, is anyone else having difficulty getting the threads started when screwing the cap in? I don't know if my threads are messed up and I should order a new cap, or if it is just naturally a bit tough to get started. Once it starts correctly, it threads the rest of the way fine.
Yup, every time. Tough to get started, threads just fine once you get going. It's been the same for many, many battery changes over the last month or two, and they haven't gotten worse (or better, lol).

The battery cap is finicky. Go slow and catch a thread before crossthreading.

That finicky cap is a pain. I can't use an Orbtronics SX30 battery with the IPV Mini 2, while it works fine with the Samsung 25R. The Orbtronics battery is about 1/2 mm taller than the Samsung. This extra 1/2 mm puts more pressure on the battery cap so that it can't be screwed down all the way. It leaves a slight gap of maybe 1/4 mm and if you hit the battery cap, the pressure from the spring of the positive battery terminal will cause the battery cap to pop off and the battery will fall out. It appears that the threads have a very slight taper to it which causes the battery cap to not fit securely unless the battery cap is fully screwed down.
