Minty Mosfet Tin Box

[Duffloop]

When you've got a little tin lying about you've gotta do somat with it! Just gotta figure out how to get the damn thing to stand upright without falling down - any ideas peeps?

And I can't get my head around the 2 blue leads - one to switch - one to atty.

I read somewhere that high drain batteries have the lowest Voltage drop - thought I'd test it on the tin. Then again those reclaims prob a bit knacked ;-)

Battery	Volts	Under load (1.5ohm atty)	Drop
Samsung Laptop reclaim 5amp	4	3.56	0.44
Sony Laptop reclaim 5amp	4.08	3.47	0.61
Samsung 20R 22amp	4.03	3.89	0.14
Samsung 25R 25amp WINS!	4.05	3.93	0.12
Sony VTC5	4.13	3.99	0.14

Stop that battery rattle!

two blobs of solder on the bottom of the tin helps it stand up, but they're top heavy with an atty on and easily knocked over still.

Cut the lid along the bottom and fold it back into the lid.
