Here's the issue;
My recent host with the 520nm module takes 7.4v (two 18350s/16350s, this issue happens with both) It will work perfectly with the batteries, as long as I keep the end cap loose enough. But, if I tighten the end cap (to where it's supposed to be), the laser is not functional, and I'm guessing it's a short. But another issue, I have left the laser unattended with the batteries still within the host, and the tail cap still loosened, it shorts and my batteries die. I have lost basically three pairs of batteries because of this issue, feeling extremely lucky that none of them vented in the process. I'm on my last pair, and now I keep them out of the host whenever not in use.
I cannot find the short for the life of me. I tried wrapping the batteries in a layer of electrical tape, nothing... Wrapping the connecting between the batteries in electrical tape, nothing... Whatever I do, it ends up shorting out. Any ideas.. anyone? :undecided:
