Recommend a 5v device

Did you make sure that the batts are seated properly on the connections? Sometimes they slide around and aren't hitting the connectors, leading to intermitten hits. If so, that's good that he's going to replace it. Sounds like a good dude!

Yep. I noticed the batts didn't fit perfectly so I moved 'em around a bit. Still very intermitent. Unacceptable in a brand new device, imo.

Mike's a good dude and taking care of it for me.

agreed redgirl there is almost twice as much current drop on that atty coil when you use less resistance and 3.7v now add 1.3v and that goes up by another 30% or so. (rough math here)

formula V/R=I
Voltage / resistance=current

Yeah, the only thing I can do with electricity is run wire from a breaker to a plug. But I still don't know how it works exactly We'll just say an old hobby made me hook up my own electric.

Ok, so no LR atties on 5v. Got it.
