The Charger Tundra Mod

[Connman]

This mod is made out of a AA Portable Charger for Motorola Tundra W233 Renew. Seen this mod in the Modders Forum by aff-tar and they gave the link to the tube. While I was planned on doing one like aff-tar in this thread.

That changed once I got the tubes I decided to try to jam it all into the cap. Tight fit it was but it can be done and has a Green LED as well in the clear cap. Don`t recall seeing this done yet so here it is.

The Charger Tundra Mod

The top tube is the charger before modding it to the Mod bottom tube. It takes the 14500 battery.

I like it a lot! Did you get them on ebay for a buck? B007 AA Portable Charger for Motorola Tundra W233 Renew - eBay (item 290417948986 end time Apr-23-10 20:14:59 PDT) Same one? If so, I think I found my candidate for the battery connector and switch when one of my TorneGO batteries dies

Very good sir! Could I ask what switch you used?
Thanks in advance.

 

[NatureBoy]

Looks great, good job!

Is the button rated for high capacity, or is it a normal 0.5A one?

 

[Connman]

The switch is actually a tact switch I salvaged out of a VCR. There is like 8 of them in there and LED`s as well to be had.

And yes e-bay for $1 plus shipping got 3 for around $6

Thanks for the great replies to all. Much appreciated for sure.

 

[Dudeman]

Awesome! Thanks for the confirmation Connman. I ordered 2 a couple minutes ago. Now I just need one of my Tornado batteries to give up the ghost... lol

 

[misterD]

great mod, man!!

 

[Rocketman]

Let's see, what in the world can I do with those 14500 batteries left over from the wife's 905?
off to eeebay
and we be waiting for the slow boat.

 

[Connman]

Hi there Rocketman,
It`s the faster boat and only took 9 days. For some reason ebay stuff seems to ship faster then say Deal Extreme. Hope you can put them to good use when they arrive. Very nice aluminum type tubes. I still have 2 more to play with.

I Love it when the most expensive part on a mod is the atomizer. Although I have yet to make a Flashlight mod like those you do. Very nice looking avatar pic..

 

[Rocketman]

Thanks,
and I've done the DX trip before.
Got a half dozen of the tundra chargers coming.
Can't let the cash burn a hole in the pocket you know.

and the little booster module will look so nice in the parts drawer.

[Connman]

Yes Rocketman I am saving that little booster module for? I don`t know but it is rather neat looking.

And I also wanted to post a picture with the LED on in this mod. It shows up good during the day as well but this Webcam sure wouldn`t show it so this one is with the lights out.

 

[Rocketman]

Cheap enough, easy enough, and you get leftovers to boot.
Looks good (I'm used to looking at low light webcam pictures late at night

Not bad for a $1 charger

What did you use for the atty connector/grommet?

Hello candre23,
When I made my U. V. O. mod I had to cut the center nub out of the Yo-Yo.
Well this cap is made out of that piece and I first heated the metal nut up in it till it falls out then drill that around the size of the battery connector in this case a 510 and then heat it up and press it into the hole.
I also had to dremell some of the outer edge so it would fit the plastic cap that comes with this tube. Then finished that off with rounding the corner off to meet the two pieces giving it a more formed together look.

Another one of those reason it could pay never to throw anything away.
You know you made a cheap mod when all the parts together cost less then the atomizer you put on it. But the really good part is its one you made and matches the big money mods.

The reason I had to Edit this post=
I had posted it was a piece of Yo-Yo I am currently working on and while I`m making a 2nd Charger Tundra mod to give to someone I found this Yo-Yo`s center piece is to small and will not work.

 

[redeyedancer]

Nice work and you cant beat that price

 

[aff-tar]

Very nice mod!

 

[WhatAClumsyGirl]

Very nice !!!!

 

[ejoker]

i hope you don't have any pets connman, i think there is no limit to what you will mod

 

[duby]

I happen to have one of those chargers laying around. Guess I'll have something to do tomorrow. I've scavenged a few switches off broken things before.. hadn't thought of a VCR though. Good call on that as well.
