Look at my picture...not yours.
Do you see how it says not used? Don't use that pin!!!
Solder the Positive to the positive pin and the negative to the negative pin (Case).
It's really as simple as that.

What diode are you using?
How much current do you plan on sending to it?
What kind of driver are you using?

i'am using 20x LOC diode i read for the current on this diode and i'am planning to run it at 380-400mA i will use groove driver or flexdrive v4 if i don't get the groove.the other question is about the spring.where to solder it?to the positive or negative pad?or both?
thanks

I see what you are doing now. If you use the flexdrive, you will want to solder the spring to the positive input(BAT+) pad.

You will get the negative from the case.

I don't know anything about the Groove Driver?

Isn't the groove driver Dr Lavas version of the rkcster? I think its his linear driver option. Dark is selling them on his new site.

yes is dr.lava's i saw it in the website but the shipping is like 20 dollars.
i can pay for the driver and shipping to me+1.50 dollards if someone else that live in the US order me one and then ship it to me.(with cheap shipping cost).
if you are interested post a reply or PM me.
thanks

$20 is a bargain!!

I just checked to see how much it would cost me to send it to you Via UPS and it came up to $75 for the cheapest service. Shoot, the company I work for even gets a discount too.
