panzer black getting hot and rda not fireing

[cripledsmurf]

i have new sony 30 amp batteries and my blackhawk mechanical mod just recently is getting hot. my rda is not fireing and when i take the rda off comepletlyit still gets hot. was told to look inside the tube for dirty connections and the only signs of bad connections are where the rda threading goes into the blackhawk.

would like anybody to help me right now. im not touching it till its working properly. i dont want to get hurt or have a battery accident. please help

the mod has a short; most likely at the top by the center pin.

can you take that piece out?

there are several things to consider... first off is the batterys plastic coating in good condition? any nicks or breaks in the sheathing? you mentioned that it gets warm even with the atty off of it... look into the positive pin of the atty having some manner of connecting to the case of the mod ( shavings from machining, metallic parts that arent supposed to be there). Did you check the ohms of your atty on an ohm meter BTW? Onbly reason a mod would get hot with the atty off of it is a short between the + pin and the case...

did everything you said to check and it was the positive pin on the mod. cleaned it up and now its chuckin the clouds

If you had a multimeter you could test the mod for a short.
with the battery out, you put the probes 1 on the centerpin and the other to the body and test for ohms.
