Confused... Batteries shorting out for no reason? Host issue...

Intermittent is like a flickering light bulb with a loose connection, it's intermittent.

Yea, but not quite sure what he meant by it. I don't remember anything being intermittent, just confused about the context.

I see, he will have to answer you then, but I could speculate that he means it's intermittent in that it only happens when you tighten the cap, like something is getting pinched, or pressure on the spring board is causing a short, anyway good luck with it.

Here's the issue;

My recent host with the 520nm module takes 7.4v (two 18350s/16350s, this issue happens with both) It will work perfectly with the batteries, as long as I keep the end cap loose enough. But, if I tighten the end cap (to where it's supposed to be), the laser is not functional, and I'm guessing it's a short. But another issue, I have left the laser unattended with the batteries still within the host, and the tail cap still loosened, it shorts and my batteries die. I have lost basically three pairs of batteries because of this issue, feeling extremely lucky that none of them vented in the process.

This statement about leaving the batteries in with the cap loose was the part I thought you were saying happened at times. This was the intermittent part I was referring to. If I got that wrong, I'm sorry.

Ah got it, I know what you're saying... Sorry about the confusion

Like I said in a previous post, everything seems to be fine now. I've dismissed my concerns and believe the problem is fixed... hopefully permanently!

See if you can use a long screw driver to knock this little piece of solder off. Maybe sharpen the screw driver and just dig at it. I really do believe this is the problem.
