My first mod

[Beachernaut]

I was going to make a bottom feeder as my first mod, but that was a bit ambitious. So I decided to simplify my mod and make a regular box mod. It is wired for 2 AA size batts in parallel, so I can either use 2 batts all day, or use 1 and charge 1 at the same time. The switch is recessed so it has to be pushed just inside the box before it activates. This should keep it from activating in my pocket. This design should also work well as a bottom feed mod also.

Tomorrow I'll clean it up a bit, and give it some paint. I'm not sure how I'll hinge the batt door, but this is an experiment, so I'll be able to modify future mods to improve on the previous one.

nice and clean, welcome to the world of modding!

 

[Beachernaut]

Yup, I've gone off the deep end already. I have several modifications/redesigns of this bouncing around in my head. I have ideas for single or dual battery bottom feed designs.

Yep a full blown case of "Modumust Fever"

On side note, just a tip, I dunno if the top part where the button is, is glued on if so you could have left that off and put the button under the batty connector. Still great job!
