Hey guys,

So i have two mods in my daily rotation now.
  • Reuleaux RX GEN3
  • IPV Vesta 200W
The problem they are both giving me is the battery doors.

The Gen3 is 6 months old and the IPV is probably 2 months old.

Both the battery doors have become so loose that even putting them down on a table or on my lap can make the door pop open. Sometimes even tipping the device can trigger it :-@

I've recorded 2 videos showing how lightly i touch/slide the door before it pops open. 8/10 times i pick up the Gen3 the batteries get left behind.






Does anyone know if there is a fix for this? Yes i know i can get silicon covers for the devices, but that makes changing batteries even more of a chore each time.

Hoping there is a simple solution that i can't think of.
 




Based on my research into this issue with both mods, it's a serious design flaw. I don't think there is any permanent solution to the problem in both cases.
