Yup, if I recall, AL is twice as thermally conductive as brass, and CU is four times as brass. However, Al will "disperse" the heat quicker than CU. So, Cu will reach a thermal saturation point faster if you want a long duty cycle. Im no metallurgist, though ....lol.

Anyway, :gj: on polishing it. It looks great!

Tom;

Nice job on all the mods.

Your new buck-boost circuit should be a hit on the board.

Allows the single #18650 cell and many more host options.
