Inspired by @Seedy and the pocket rocker mod, the good lady was going to get a wee box mod today. Unfortunately that box got ruined when I drilled the wrong side so that ruined my plan for a tiny box mod with a single battery.
So instead I built this with the time today.
It's a bit of a plain jane on the outside except for the brilliant FDV 510 which is fantastic having sprung centre post.
Fitted inside it has 4 Turnigy Lipo power packs each rated at 35C continuous 100C pulse. Wired in parallel that gives over 100A handling continuous. 750mAh each gives it 3000mAh and an onboard 1A USB charger.
Switch is wired via 68A(continuous) MOSFET and 2.5mm wire.
Unfortunately no room for a fuse or a power switch, but I can live with that as it's only for me to use. I wanted an LED in there too but I gave up figuring out how to make a neat job of that with so little space.
Interestingly this has a much lower volt drop than my big power project box mod running 2xVTC5's! Aprox 0.3V better in the Lipos with a 0.13ohm coil running around 80-90W.
I am happy, for a box that took 6hrs to build and cost under £30![Yahoo! :yahoo: :yahoo:](/data/smilies/yahoo.gif)
Turnigy Batteries from Hobbyking @£1.90ish each
Box from maplins £3.09-not the greatest!
FDV 510 from Modmaker £5.99
Switch from RS £8.99 I pushed the boat out a bit there!
Mosfet about £1.50 from RS
USB board from Modmaker £1.99
Resistor about 2p and some wire.
£29.18
Not sure how many box MOD's I need but it is definitely more!![Eye Roll :eyeroll: :eyeroll:](/data/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
