I am currently using an ipv2. I have 3 batteries. 2 Purple efests and one vtc5 which I purchased from torchy.
The problem I am having is that when the vtc5 is installed if I put the ipv2 down on a hard surface it switches off. And also the ohms are jumping all over the place.
I thought it was the mod at fault until I realised that it only happened with the vtc5 in it.
Has anyone else had a similar issue?

I'd guess it's because your vtc5 is a flat top battery and not contacting properly? The battery below is either a button top or someone has installed a magnet to take up the gap between the battery top and the contact plate, are your efests button tops?  |

I wouldn't recommend bending the tab. Better to get these and pop one on the top of the battery |

They all have different dimensions. The top connection on the efest is slightly more raised than the vtc5. One hair's width can make a massive difference. Was a good spot by osdset, I generally forget things like that and go straight to the spring. |

personally I'd be more inclined to fit something on the -ive terminal, as if it does slip about a bit (in most mods) it'll short to earth, which it is at anyway. A slippy disc on the +ive shorting to earth could be catastrophic....
edit - looking at the pic above, deffo fit it at the -ive end

Had a similar problem with a vtc4 from torchy,what i found to be the problem was the wrap that torchy has put on the battery was covering the positive ens so i carefully removed around the top of the battery and all sorted |
