![]() Next once you have your power wires you can solder Dc power socket to power wires and then solder audio socket to audio wires and then onto batteryĬarefully open battery case (i run a stanley knife along the edges until pushes through the case at he top) carefully and slowly slide battery pack out of the the top it can be very delicate. ![]() Next you can use a small encloser,Jaycar Jiffy Box or just heat shrink and tape to create the power attachment so here you would solder 4 wires onto your 5 pin chassis (2 x power 2x audio 1 pin is not used) there a re multiple ways to do this if you wanted to you could attach to one end of battery cable to have it all in one but i like them separate. Just solder each end to same number on plug.

The Lipo battery kind of make me nervous as I have read a few things online about how sensitive they are to charging, and the potential for a fire. Is a 3S Lipo with a voltage reg/step down reg the go, or using Li-on batteries to make a battery pack the way to go? I have seen so much information, my brain is overloaded. I am seeking some info from people who have made a battery pack before and what type/style was used. I also don't want to be spending millions on the SD, when I will look to upgrade in the new year, maybe. Currently a fully charged battery is around 6.8v - I'm aiming for around the 7.2-7.4 for the SD2100. The batteries that I am using now, the ole camcorder style are not lasting as long as I'd like and I think are on their way out, as was my other one I had, hence the new battery option. I'll start by saying that I'll most likely purchase a battery pack from the same bloke who serviced my detector, but as is my nature, I wanted to have a crack at making a battery pack for my SD2100 first, I like the challenge.
