It was such a perfect fit. I did not have to trim down the bottom of the battery compartment. I installed the battery pushed up against the top terminals first, then took a putty knife and pushed down the lower terminals and pushed the battery in, letting the battery ride down the other side of the putty knife blade. It went in so smooth. Then I hooked up the circuit board and slide it up close to the top terminals and with the pre-milled battery door, everything just lined up so smoothly. Thank you you your great work and tight tolerances.
Literally. This was easy to install and is very rad. I would recommend some foam “bumpers” to keep the port flush with the hole. But it’s pretty rad.
