Tesla Battery Mod switch

[ScoobyMike]

Has anyone played with the Tesla at all?
I have problems with mine at only 6 months old.
The button is incredibly annoying, the positive click is gone and if its not pressed hard enough, it flickers and then turns itself off!
I also have an issue with battery life, a 4000mah battery lasting mere hours!
Granted i use it quite a lot, but even it used to last longer with a smaller battery!

I am looking to strip it down as much as possible, which i know probably wont be much, but i like the mod and dont really want to have to buy something else to replace it!

many thanks in advance.

Mike

I know MadTz has a Tesla, maybe he can help with your issues

With regards to your battery, what make is it?

I only ever used 2200mah batts in mine and just light clicks on it has always been enough

by the sounds of it all the hard clicking has moved the board mine only every auto shuts off if the battery is low and the above battery I mentioned lasts around 8 hours @ 8watts

Maybe AndyC1971 can give you some info he has one that's even older than mine

Thanks for the replies, i dont think the board has moved as such, the button still clicks a little some times, but doesnt make contact! I have to push past the click to get it to work!
Its weird, sometimes it just flashes enough to get the fice clicks to turn it off, sometimes it seems to have a moment and the screen lights up entirely, then it goes off!
tbh, i think its just a dodgy one, once i get a different replacement, i will have a go at pulling it apart and see what i can do with it, if i can save it, then great, if not then its all a learning curve!
