My mod is super simple... retractile electric cable, two clip to secure cable to battery, and two wooden blocks and bare wire contacts... too lazy to solder even... :blink:

Better tape up the bare wire section..

I got one incident the wire accidentally shortcuit (touch one another, ie direct current back to battery).. it smells funny, then I realised the wired got hot!

Not careful can start fire on your whole bag :lol:

Another precaution I always do is to disconnect the wiring to battery when not in use... It is a good habit, but once a while I forgot.

LoL... well, except for the bare wire contact - that is only at the wooden block, the rest of the batteries are well sealed.

I do keep the wooden blocks stuffed into the flash gun when I'm outside the whole day - I only take it out when I'm at home. I figured that it's better that I don't leave those bare contacts rolling inside my bag when not in used yeah. ;)
