Well after one week of using knight v2 last night i notice when switched on that is heating like crazy. In 2sec it melted top of battery cover and spring in + pin. Lucky it didnt happen on the move in my pocket it would sure burst in 10sec. Going to write gearbest so be carefull owners. The battery was lg hg2 almost new no chiped wrap or anything else. After i tried other battery just for sec same thing. Its like its shorting somwhere on the board or something. I did notice it goes thru battery pretty fast in begining so theres that to watch out to. Luckly dna40 is coming soon.

Lead looks ok cant se anything wrong. I think maybe the spring of positive + has come in contact with housing because its directly (maybe the paint on housing is only isolator between) in contact with it. So if the negative is grounded on housing thats that. If this is the reason its realy bad and in time spring can make contact when replacing battery with housing causing the short. When I look a litlle more will let you know.

my knight v1 would fire uncontrollably for a full 10 seconds very occasionally. Stopped. Happened about 3 times over the course of a month. I never did figure out why. Fell out of using it due to the weight of it. Nebox was just so much lighter.
Never had the problem with the V2.

My friends v1 after two weeks screen whent out. Not to happy whit it. I like v2 its light and sits great in hand but must resolve this + pin. It melted the plastic around him so going to try other way for + contact then spring and isolate it from touching the housing.
