Caliper Battery Separator (Improved)

I tried Arbitur's remix of the caliper battery separator and it broke off my negative battery terminal spring which I then had to take apart my caliper and re-solder the terminal back on. I appreciated his remix and wanted to improve upon it so I was determined to make this work since I use my calipers a lot and wanted to save the battery when I didn't. I also want to thank Derailed for the original design and have also added him as a source if you want to use his design.

This may or may not work for you since there are so many caliper versions. Also be really careful not break off the negative terminal like I did and have to take apart the caliper and re-solder it back on.

Here are the improvements I made:

• Removed the angle cut and made it round (because my caliper has the negative battery terminal soldered at an angle, his angle cut caused the negative terminal to toque and break off ).

• Reduced the thickness and made it uniform : this reduced the upward pressure on the battery cover and possible breakage.

• Reduced the overall length so that when I move the separator a few millimeters up, the caliper stays on and doesn't have the separator sticking out when measuring things.

• Added an optional EDGE to the button handle so you can push up the separator instead of pulling up on the handle, the other is FLUSH. I use the EDGE version to turn on/off my calipers now.

• Added a shorter width version for my other NEIKO caliper, both FLUSH and EDGE versions depending upon your preference.
