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...

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.
