We all know about js's excellent and high quality rechargeable pack for the SureFire M6, better known as the M6-R .
Jim recently sold some M6-R LVR3I PWM regulators , and you probably have seen CPF's member "TheSteve" own vesion here .
Although my version is not as good/clean as either Jim or TheSteve, here is my own version for your "enjoyment"
I must point out that I am not fully done, as I need to add the thicker heat-shrink, plus I want to make the charge port just as TheSteve did on his own version :rock:
I of course started by looking/reviewing carefuly all documentation and by taking some approx. measurements of the MB-20 battery pack as a guideline.
Using this information I soldered the FET to the LVR board:
I then used my mini lathe and some delrin to make some new ends for the pack, using the measurements I took earlier:
I used some copper nuts to which I soldered wires to create the new contacts for the bulb (which are not the same as the battery):
I used my demel to create some channels for the wires so that the new top/bottom plates would fit flush with the cell pack:
I then applied a thick layer of epoxy to the side facing the batteries to prevent any shorts, and covered them with insulating tape:
Here is everything prior to assembly:
I reviewed once more the wiring instructions using the excellent documentation that Willie Hunt provides on his LVR web site . Third picture shows the exact configuration used here:
I then soldered the LVR board to the battery pack:
and then soldered the new insulated delrin ends, which I hot-glued to the battery pack:
Here is the almost finished pack:
and to "prove" that it actually works, here is a very underexposed shot against the wall - looks awesome in real life
Thanks Jim and TheSteve for showing enough pictures to help me get my own M6-R pack operational :bow:
