Product Idea -> Pass-through for Buzz Pro?

[MarcK73]

FYI for anyone interested, here's a review I stumbled across from PBusardo regarding batteries for the Buzz Pro:

A PBusardo Review - Buzz Pro Battery Comparison - YouTube

A bottom cap pass through should be viable and act as a charger. It has been 15 years since I have done anything with my EE degree...

Well if you decide to make some you have your first customer right here!

I am not going to make Buzz accessories, but would be 2nd in line to buy one. Have a Buzz Pro in my shopping cart waiting for a $10 credit to applied to my account before I order. That or 510 chrome top caps...

OHHH remember my bad battery. I thought of everything I could possibly check and was ready to send it in but then tried another set of batteries and problem solved. I didn't know you were suppose to rotate your batteries top and bottom. oopps. How do you keep track and tell them apart?

Happy 4th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just marked them 1 and 2 and then just try to remember that yesterday I put 2 in first, etc. You don't have to switch them every day, so no big deal if you mix them up, but I've just read multiple people say not to always use them in the same order since they're stacked.

Kelli, what I do is put a small rubber band around the batt on the bottom when I change out my batts. That way I know the one with the rubber band goes to the top the next time I use it. They charge just fine with the rubber band. I use the tiny ones you use for kiddie braids.

 

[kellie]

That is a great idea. I think I may even have some of them. Thanx

 

[sashwa]

You are welcome. I read the rubber band thing somewhere around the site. It sounded way easier than trying to remember which one goes to the top the next time around seeing that I have 3 sets in rotation. If you don't have any, send me your address and I'll send you out a few - I have tons of them.

 

[kellie]

I am gonna go look right now

 

[kellie]

I do have a bunch. Thanx for the offer though

That is a great idea Sashwa! I have never worried about top and bottom swapping. I keep my batts marked in pairs, but pay no attention to which was top or bottom when I take them out, put them on the charger, or put the charged ones in my batt holder. I figure they get mixed around enough I have 6 sets that keep 2 BPs going every day.

All but 1 of my sets are the grey jacket Ultrafires. The 1 set of powerizers I have does last longer, but I have a drastic drop off in about the last hour before they kick the bucket, so I change them when I notice the drop in performance.

I mark them in pairs with a marker at the top. I use random luck to determine which battery is top, and which is bottom.

I keep mine in sets also by marking them also and then use the rubberband to mark the top batt for the next use time. I have found that they seem to last longer per use since I started rotating the top/bottom use but that could also could be all in my head. I also let the batts rest before re-charging them and rest before using them. again.

 

[Bovinia]

I let mine rest too, I'm just too lazy to keep up with the rotating

 

[sashwa]

I'm lazy too, Bov. That's why the rubberband works for me.

 

[kellie]

I'm lazy too

I guess Mike has a bunch of lazy females using his mods.

Right I have been off work for the past 2 days and haven't done anything but dishes and couple of loads of laundry. My house is trashed. But it's just me and my fur boys on we are on mini vac till friday. The fireworks are scaring them and they have been going off since Monday

 

[Bovinia]

You deserve to lay around Kellie! I'm glad to know that Linkin is still doing well! I know the feeling about the fireworks, fortunately Chase isn't bothered by them. My little Abby girl (who died 2.5 years ago) was terrified of fireworks and thunder! She was a fearless little shi tzu when it came to anything else...I still miss her.
