Evod switch in home brew

[Ryan69]

Can i use the evod battery switch in conjunction with an 18650 battery working on a mod

so you want to hack an evod switch and use that with an 18650 battery?

is it for a DIY project or to replace a switch in an existing mod ?

for the DIY you WILL need a mosfet to protect that switch, otherwise it will just die

Hi @Ryan69
If you mean removing the switch from the evod and putting it directly into the + off an 18650 the answer is no. That switch is capable of very low amp switching only. If you give more info will be able to advise you better.

Simple answer, not really, those evods are designed for 2.5 amps max and anything more will blow it.
You need a mosfet rated for the current you expect to draw, heres the way I did it with a 10A 18350 cell.

The IRLB3034 can handle 195A and has a low trigger voltage, unlike the IRFZ44N which sukkels to turn on with a single lipo voltage.
I think it was about R50 from Mantech
