DIY Mod battery spacer

I have just received some AW batteries for my mod. They are shorter than your regular 18650 battery as we all know. For a quick fix I have neatly folded some foil up and put on each negative connection to act as a spacer and it seems to have done the job quite well, for the time being. I will probably pick up some springs in the next couple of days to act as a far better spacer. Does any one have any other ideas on what would make a good spacer?

 

neo magnets work quite well, i have about 6 different sizes now, so easy to keep organised too, they love to be in a little stack.

 

A magnet works best afaik

Actually...a 2000mAh AW IMR 18650 is 65mm long.

Other "18650" batteries tend to be 1-2mm longer i.e. 66mm or 67mm longer, this can be for a variety of reasons.

But as Stoney said...magnets are a good way to fill the gap.

 

Wow thanks for that hack It's all good I just grabbed a spring from work and it's done the trick. Foil worked well to my suprise though.

 

foil .. aluminium, the same stuff they make power lines out of
its not as good a conductor as copper, buts its cheaper and lighter so the poles don't have to be as solid.
