If you have the battery rattle ailment .....................


Here is a good solution , :)

Go to Office Depot - Buy some notebook style sheet protectors - various thicknesses.

Guess at the thickness needed - then cut some 1/4" wide strips that are longer than your battery tube.

Use 3 or 4 of them , evenly spaced around the batteries - running lengthwise in the battery tube.

Before you cut the final length - BE SURE there is just enough of each strip sticking out the rear of the battery tube that you can get hold of it and pull it out if your batteries have swollen at change time .

The strips should pull out easily - allowing the batteries to come out .

How's that for a battery rattle shim that's easy to remove ? .:grin2:

( this is much better than using paper around your batteries ! )
