There's a 180K ohm resistance between the + and - battery connections with the switch on. It would drain the battery just like you said it did. Although it would take some time.

Let's see....7.4 volt nominal at 180K Ω is 0.00004 amps... and 0.0003 watts constant drain. Maybe it changes resistance with more current than the meter tests with. IDK. I'd have to put an ammeter inline to find out. But since I'm probably going to rebuild it anyway....meh.

OKR-T/3 = 3A max limit

I think the OKRs also come in 6 and maybe(?) 12A versions

lol. The 6 amp one is $2.05 more than the 3 amp at mouser... ;)

The board has "Rev B" on it but the sticker has a "D" as the last char on bottom row.

No matter. All same spec sheet I think.

I have a busy day today. Won't be able to play with it much. :(

lol, atty! i know it's working AND draining the batteries when it shouldn't! :laugh:

It has a 31.2 mA constant drain....

That's .0312 amps...3 hundredths of an amp (measured with an ammeter).

What bothers me about it is that all the positive voltage/current is going through the button. Going to re-work it and swap buttons to a smooth button (high tension spring). Not a fan of the horn button that is on it.

I can't see much about how it's wired until I tear it down and rebuild it. It's a...bit...of work. So I think I'm going to vape it a while and wait for a rainy day or something.
