Ok, now I've encountered a new problem. New battery, new fuses. The stock fuse I had was a 20A, 32V fuse. Replacement fuse I bought were from The Source and RP Electronics. For some reason, I kept blowing all the fuses from The Source. But the fuses I bought from RP Electronics are fine.
So I THINK I just got a bunch of lemon fuses. But I also installed the fuses from RP with gloves. And the fuse didn't blow. Does anyone know if you're supposed to wear gloves to install fuses? Because I thought the oil from my fingers must've caused the previous fuses to blow. Testing my hypothesis, I took out my current fuse without any gloves and reinstalled it. It didn't blow.
Now this has me totally confused. The fuses I bought from the source could've been lemons, but what are the chances of a whole pack of fuses turning out to be lemons? If gloves need to be worn to install the fuses, why didn't my current fuse blow after I uninstalled/reinstalled it with my bare hands? The last possibility I could think of was that from a freshly charged battery, the output may have been too high at that time. Which seems weird, because an 8.4V battery is only supposed to output 8.4V.
Although I have my gun up and running, I'm very curious as to why the previous fuses blew and why this one didn't. Any thought on that guys?
