Need help with my aluminum 6v bottom fed box mod.....

[pebo88]

First off I hope this is in the right place, if not could the mods please move it for me.

OK, heres the box I am going to use;

3.15in X 2.17in" X 0.98in Aluminum Die Cast Box-MPJA, Inc.

2 of these batteries;

3.2 Volt 800 mAh LiFePO4 18500 Battery

2 of these battery holders;

10 x 18650 17500 18500 Battery Holder Box Case 6" Lead | eBay

Switch;

Horn style switch -- Black

510 connector;

510 Battery Connector, Gold, Large Hole

This will be a bottom feeder used with 1.5 ohm dual coils and I plan on dremmeling the box for clearance issues. My questions are mainly electrical in nature.

1) Can I run these 3.2V lifepo4 18500's in series with straight power to the switch and then to the 510 connection? I currently run my Silver Bullet with 2 Tenergy 3.2v rcr123a's and under load it reads 5.6V with dual coils which is ideal for me.

Without drawing a schematic my setup would be a battery on right/left and bottle in the middle, so I guess my main question is do I need any other electrical components to complete this idea? Or is my idea fine the way it is?

Thanks to everyone in the ECF community who can assist me. I love this forum!

Any info would be appreciated and im aware that I would need wire and JB Weld and other odds and ends to complete this.

Looks good to me.

Just a tip when using those diecast aluminum boxes - screw on the cover plate when you press in the atty connector. They have a tendency to crack under pressure and the lid will keep everything strong.

Also grab this bit for the Dremel: 1/16 In. Engraving Cutter-106 at The Home Depot

It works great on those boxes and lets you get in corners too.

Thanks Meatsneakers.... unfortunately I just tried to order the aluminum box and they dont ship to Canada

Where in canada are you? There are electronics shops that carry them, if you're in a major centre you should be able to find one in a shop. You can probably find them on Active Electronics web site as well if you need to order them.

Also Hammond makes the same box. You can get it from Digikey, Mouser etc.
