Vulcann 6th Gear February 20, 2013 Share February 20, 2013 (edited) Here is the final look of my 5 month-old BV: Machiam Carcam Terminator [laugh] Managed to screw both covers back after settling my dirty lens issue ( http://www.mycarforum.com/index.php?showtopic=2686720 ). The replacement battery rated at 3.7V 200mAH was much larger than the stock one so have to be mounted outside as shown below: Not exactly a piece of art but practical la. Heat dissipation by the battery will not contribute to the unit's internal temperature henceforth. Edited February 20, 2013 by Vulcann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF 4th Gear February 20, 2013 Share February 20, 2013 but your batt will be exposed to direct sunlight when in use.......not sure if it's alright...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrianli Hypersonic February 20, 2013 Share February 20, 2013 U should put the lipo battery behind the lens. Direct sunlight on lipo battery is a no-no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcann 6th Gear February 20, 2013 Share February 20, 2013 but your batt will be exposed to direct sunlight when in use.......not sure if it's alright...... Lesser of the two evils I guess? With BV's well-known internal heat issues (batt also one of the main contributors), I guess I will have to take that leap of faith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcann 6th Gear February 20, 2013 Share February 20, 2013 (edited) U should put the lipo battery behind the lens. Direct sunlight on lipo battery is a no-no. Actually was toying the idea of putting behind but if like that will be eye sore to the driver. Now that you pointed out that direct sunlight is then I will no longer take that leap mentioned to bro WTF ealier but to kway kway mount it behind liao Thanks for the tip bro Edited February 20, 2013 by Vulcann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcann 6th Gear February 20, 2013 Share February 20, 2013 (edited) U should put the lipo battery behind the lens. Direct sunlight on lipo battery is a no-no. Bro, Just took out the unit and re-posit the batt behind then wrapped it up in black insulation tape: BV now looks like an injured victim [laugh] Is this set-up ok? Only worry is the heat dissipation may be very much inhibited. Edited February 20, 2013 by Vulcann ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
