Cap for ARC-LS battery packs

I found that a plastic cap for copper water pipe (used to protect the ends in shipping) will fit perfictly over the threads and O-ring on all arc ls battery packs. Just squeeze and the vacuume will hold it secure. they are usually orange and can be found in most hardware stores. I can now carry my 2 AA pack in a sheath with out worrying about loosing the batteries or dirt in the threads. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

nice job! that's a good idea /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Outlaw,
good thinking, can you take some pictures and post it.

I have found that the clear plastic caps from the valve of a "sports" type water bottle are also a perfect fit. Try it!

sorry no access to camera at this time but I will post them when I do. and I will try the water caps Tech a Billy

DSpeck made some custom durlin covers for Arc LS battery packs quite a while ago. He even did a few in aluminum. I have two that are in use today.

A pretty clever CPFer made me one from derel also. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Works great, is water tight, and should hold up very well.

dangit people, it's called delrin! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/twakfl.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Delrin?

Durlin?

Darlin?

I know how you feel!


It drives me nuts when people say, "it's a mute point"

I want to scream IT'S MOOT! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

IT'S A MOOT POINT!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

THE WORD IS MOOT! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rant.gif

(thank you, I fell much better now) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon23.gif


"Lux" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Is it Delrin, or was it "self lubricating Engineering grade plastic"

I guesss it's a moot point /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

It's a moot point.

It's like a cow's opinion; it doesn't matter; it's moot!

Just how far off the DELRIN point are we going to go on this thread? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink2.gif

Well supposubly if it's off topic it's a mute pointe.

Roth,
My site is down... AGAIN!
As soon as its back up, I'll post a few pics of the ahh "plastic" cap. (I'm gonna catch hell for that one) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[EDIT] Actually, goto this other Arc batt pack cap thread.
There is more info there, and when ever my site is back up, those pics I posted in that thread will be back.

Everyone,

As long as we're off topic, the expression "moot point" has really evolved (or should I say devolved) until it means nearly the opposite of what it used to mean. Some of you Tolkien fans out there may remember the Ent moot: a moot is an assembly exercising political, administrative, and judicial powers. In the past, when people said that something was a "moot point" they meant that it was "subject to argument or discussion, debatable, or doubtful" and NOT(!) that it was irrelevant or unimportant. When someone comments that the spelling of a type of plastic is a moot point, they really mean that it is an unimportant or trivial point and that they don't want to be corrected over such a picayune concern. (Not that I agree with that assessment, mind you.)

Here endeth the lesson.

wow, is that really where the word origionally came from?!
maybe the moot point we should be discussing here is where the entwives went... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thinking.gif

sorry about your thread outlaw... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Dunno, JS. That doesn't really "jive." /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Agribusiness eventually killed the entwives.

dam agribusers! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/twakfl.gif
