Ramaditya requested an accent LED in the pommel, while I was there, I wanted to see about drilling a few more sound holes around the pommel and allowing for a little light to pass through from the accent LED.
The trustfire 18650 works like a charm, no battery holder. The battery is permanently inside the hilt, wired directly to the recharge port. The hilt is not meant to open, nothing to do in there as the battery can only be charged through the port.
I'm not sure how long this saber runs before the batteries need to be charged, ....but I can you, ....it appears to be well over an hour!
The recharge port is at the bottom, in the mps insert of the pommel, nice and out of the way.
The white poly-c blade is 34" long, the new retention screw has a nice brass knurled knob on it.
The saber looks goods, sounds good and feels awesome.
I'll be including a custom kill key with this to save the batteries from draining when not in use.
I say this is complete, ....but I need to place the covertec knob on it, ...I just wasn't sure that Ramaditya even wanted one, ...so Im waiting on him to verify this.
I can't thank you all enough for all the help each of you that have helped with this has put into it. It has been most enjoyable.
Ramaditya, this will ship out Tuesday via USPS, I know it takes a while to get there, so u may want to get your charger ready for when it arrives.
2.1mm adapter for a smart charger, which is what I believe u have.
