Anyone have a buzzing sound coming from the tail when using the pack? Normal?

I just noticed after installed some freshly charged cells there is a real good buz coming from it.

Still searching for this answer gang, :poke:

I'm hoping it's normal, but if anyone can enlighten me please.

I might be able to upload a video of it as if you remove the tail cap and complete the circuit it's quite loud. However I just realized I need to check it on the different voltages.

Stay tuned!

I believe the topic is the PhD battery pack.

But both haven't been produced in a few years. Both are wonderful tools though.

As Greenbean said, this battery pack/regulator is amazing. Since i've got mine it's in use several times a week. I even remember all 4 settings for each voltage without looking at the notes :))

Will & Jimmy are some of the best members CPF has ever had! I still have a whole bunch of these PhD's, compiler, programmer unit, etc. Thank goodness I saved all the instruction web pages that explain everything in detail.

Just checking in to say that my PhD-M6 is still in use and going strong 9 years later! Now using 16650 - 17670 don't really seem to be as common anymore.

Thank you for such a great product.

I'd like to add that Will really stands behind his product. When I nearly killed mine, he was so kind to repair the unit

Wasn't really that common back then either, but M6 size constraints meant that triple 18650 was not possible.

I'm still enjoying my PhD-M6, hopefully the battery type will not obsolete it eventually.
