How I Fixed My Arc4 Rev 2.0 Switch for 30¢

[HesNot]

An interesting fix- I'm trying to visualize how it continues to make positive contact on the bottom of the battery without the spring since with only the cone in place I cannot keep positive contact on my rev1 switch.

I have solder on the gold disk and positive contact.

I only use one type of cell; secondary (Li Ion) 123A with excellent results.

Cheers!

I went to the shop but I could only get one that is slightly bigger (than what is needed). But it's easy to reshape them because it's just rubber. Without the "frame" in the tail, you can press as deep as you want and any battery should just work. The only one that didn't work for me was the rechargeable battery that was clearyly short than a typical Duracell one.
