Re: Battery

The HotShot 2 has a small grub screw that permits you to open the "CAN".

I believe you can change the battery, but I have never done so.

I do have the (GP?) anodized ignitor with indicator in the scew off cap from Tower too.

On this one I took a 2200mAh battery from a new RX pack I had, which had a bad cell, and cut off the tabs, then stuffed it into the ignitor.

It lasts quite a bit longer now.

TH sells loose battery cells to make your own packs.

These make excellent replacements for the cell in your ignitor.

In your shoes I'd just buy a second ignitor and carry two.

Use one primarily, and next year or so, look at changing out the battery.

Why waste what you already have?
