Replacing the 18650s in a microfire k2000r?

[Sengoku]

Anyone replaced their microfire K2000r cells with 2600mAH ones? Im thinking of doing this but have no idea how to open it. I am getting only about 30min runtime

Mines the older version:


TIA

Li-Ion batteries can be dangerous if mis-handled, might as well buy a new battery.

yes, and its not easy. what i did was drill a small hole in the top of the battery case through the g10 type stuff? to the side of the + contact.

then put i a small peice of bent wire (stiff, with a hook in the end) and pulled to pop the top off. all the recharge electrics and the threee 1850's are semi potted with a type of mastic but it peels off easy-ish. you shoudl be able to press if the top back on after this. dont do this unless you are quite happy to bugger the whole thing up and buy a new one

good luck:thumbsup:
