Telescopic Battery Spacer

I had to do a little something tonite (it's therapeutic), so I built myself a battery spacer similar to the telescoping spacer that came with my GGTB ..

As you know, the TB has a telescoping battery spacer so that you can use 14500, others in the GG. Using a couple of parts from my parts drawers, I made another batt spacer for use on a new mod that a most generous friend is sending me, a Bauway 510N .. it normally takes unprotected 18650's (which I don't presently have). I plan to use it for the time being with an AW14500, so I made an adjustable batt spacer for it.

Not very good pics, but you get the idea.

Short (same size as compressed GG spacer)


Extended (it will go even longer if nec)


It will look much better when I replace the tapered washers with a stack of flat ones, but it works just fine and, just like the GG original, is fully adjustable to take care of different battery sizes.

OK, I know it's dumb, but hey, modding helps me sleep

 

Damn you are one creative SOB! I love looking at all your creations.

 

nice mod, almost was going to make one of these myself for my mako maksi awhile back, just hate the 14650 battries, seem like they just dont hit as hard as the 14500's, but ended -up just ditching the idea and made another mod.....
