Hi everyone,
I’ve recently been needing to charge or test small batteries with flat contacts (like small camera batteries) and I’m needing a easy and small solution to having adjustable probes that I can move into place and it will hold the probes onto the contact pads. This is not for coin cells or cylinder cells.
I’ve looked at the Cadex rigid arm several times over the years and while it is the perfect size and construction, they’re damn expensive and I can’t justify that price for them.
I could make my own with the flexible coolant hose style connectors and some pogo pins, but I’m not sure how well that would work and by the time you get a decent bend radius it is going to be pretty big.
Has any one built their own, bought an off the shelf one or using the Cadex one?
I’d like to hear the good, the bad and the ugly
Cheers
