They seem a little big but got boxes for it, anyone elso tried this model ? Would it be good for 14500 & 18650 ?
Thats what I was thinking. Will it do well with both size batts ?
You can put the on off switch on the positive wire before it gets to the button from the battery. Just a slide on off at least 3amp will work, 3amp for the button also.![]()

Yes you can use that converter, just put a push button switch on the (+) out to the atty connecter. The on off that comes with it will be your master switch.
The one i had bought was much less expensive i recal, had to wait a while as it came from Japan or China and 3 or 4 amp, the meter goes on when atty switch is pressed and does not stay lit otherwise but it is kinda large .I'm a little late to this party, but I think the on/off switch on the board just controls the LED voltage display.
Again, here is the link to the board:

Wondering if anyone has used one of these yet? They do look kind of big, but I have been thinking about making some bizarre mods out of larger household items. This looks like a good easy in easy out board for that. The only thing I don't like about it besides the size, is I'm not a fan of the blue 25 turn trimmers. I prefer a thumbwheel, or one turn pots.
A dual 18650 bat holder, a 510 adapter with nut, a little epoxy and hookup wire, and voila, you have a mannequin head mod to freak all your friends out with.![]()
