Is the Jetbeam's tailstanding capability dependent on the battery length?
Mine seems to wobble more if I use a Sanyo NiMH instead of a Varta NiMH...

To check if I can change this I disassembled the switch. The only way to improve that seems to cut the cylindrical part of the switch that sits right below the switch cover. Any other ideas?

What serial #? Mine is in the 2000's and it doesn't matter what I shoe horn into it, it tailstands w/no problem at all.

The strange thing is that I cannot understand how the battery length is even able to push the switch farther out. All parts seem to be designed to avoid this...
