other means of securing it in the hilt to keep it stationary for proper gesture recognition.

the batteries to completely drain.

These are not much different from the 2.0 and the 2.1.
Also, on the back of the 2.5 is a jumper wire. It was blue on the sample I was given, but it may be a different color.
This wire is not a kill key holder, belt hanger, or a line to secure your board in the hilt.
Do not remove it, cut it, splice it.
Any damage to this jumper line will void your warranty.
The only exception, is if the board arrives from Ultrasabers or TCSS with the wire being damaged.
All returned boards will be subject to inspection and if the jumper line is damaged and the tabs have been soldered the board will be returned to you at your expense. No refund or replacement will be given.
