LiMn for sure, you sent some of those my way already

I not thinking about putting visible holes in the battery tube. I'm wondering about the bottom end cap in particular. I've seen the vids where you take the button sector apart (looks simple enough). Can the bottom end cap be similarly disassembled?

There's a brass contact point jutting out of it which I assume rides on a spring of some kind within the end cap. I have in mind to disassemble that section, remove the contact point and spring device, drill a hole (or two) thru the exterior end of the cap (and maybe thru the interior side if need be), and then to reassemble the part.

I wouldn't want to damage the spring components inside, that's why I'm asking if it can be disassembled without too much trouble. The button sector has the alum disk on one side that pops off. Is that how the end cap is put together too?

[edit: I'm pretty certain I could manage putting a small hole in the tube itself if the end cap is too complicated]

I have some good news for you VMadness, you don't really have to concentrate on any dissection. The cap it self measures 9.14mm in thickness and leaves you 4mm room all around the ground post. Food for thought, the ground post has a built-in spring and is all made from brass, they use a type of epoxy to secure the mechanism. Excuse the tamper marks on the photo

This photo has been modified for clarification.

Thnx for the info about how its put together! Ok... so there's epoxy in there and it can't be disassembled, but drilling near the perimeter should be possible w/o running into anything important.

Isaac, if i try this and completely screw the pooch, would it be possible to order just a new end cap?

Well ya'll got my curiousity so I drilled a couple a holes in the end cap with absolutely no issues or problems. I drilled two holes with a 3/32 drill bit and looks great. I did use a drill press with the end cap in a vise. If using a hand drill it should not be that difficult as this is soft material. Hope that helps. The hole on the exterior side misses that bevel on the end cap by jsut a hair.

Sweet... existance proof that it can be done! Thnx!!
