That deoxit kit looks amazing and simple to use. Thank you for that link!
I have applied a very thin layer to each of the contact points on the switch of the Armageddon (btw the contacts are silver plated "wet brass") but I'm still observing some intermittent arcing in the dark.
I'm really wanting to use preventative measures on this device so that the internals don't end up looking like the ones on my Athena, or my Aleader X-Drip, ie pitted and scarred with permanent black marks.
This Armageddon was my unicorn and now i actually have it! I *must* maintain this mod and buying any deoxit is out of the question right now with my funds. Very frustrating...
There's really not going to be a way to stop arcing, nature of the electrical beast. Nolox, deoxit, and the like are just for corrosion resistance. There are used mainly when the wire (example: Aluminum) is mounted to a breaker, bus-bar or the like (example: copper or steel). The two dissimilar metals will react with each other under heat, humidity, etc., thus causing galvanic reactions and such (corrosion).
This corrosion then causes components to fail faster by the creation of heat and/or arcing. Contact switches have this issue a lot, they can have arcing problems as well due to current/load. A contact switch is just like a light switch but is operated usually with magnets which will open or close the circuit when power is applied. This is a very, very basic explanation, there's way more to it and why they are used.
Now to DC voltage, you won't stop the arcing issues without dropping the load. So, if your build is causing arcing, you need to build at a higher resistance to stop it. The only other option(s) is either press the button faster (closes gap faster to minimize arc) or a better designed switch/mod.
Make sure the switch is making full and flat contact with the battery, if it is connecting at an angle there can be an arc at this point. There's really not a whole lot that can be done with a mechanical mod. The best design is to have the switch not contact the battery (especially in dual battery mods) but not many do it differently.
EXAMPLE: normal mod: Atty-Battery-Switch
EXAMPLE:not switching at battery: Atty-Battery-Wire or Plate-Switch
This way the arcing is on the plate and switch, which should be replaceable (easily and cheaply). Arcing will/can eventually harm the battery, so always keep an eye on the terminal's condition.
