..:: Excalibur Ultimate Edition - First shots.... top secret project ::..

[frogmaster-riviera]

Hi guys, sorry for being a bit busy recently (need to make money, still not retired) and didn't had much time to make videos or any discovery of interest.

I am in the process of enhancing my stock Excalibur II to probably the best Excalibur version ever built up to date.

I have received all the pieces, it is time now to start and complete the project.

Step 1 : End caps replacement

Technology used : OBN (.."Sir OBN) for the end cap and Fischer for the connectors






2 Excalibur will be Moded. You can see

1 End cap replacement for the battery pack, enhancing the capacity of the battery to a LIPO4s with balance charging (11 connections available)
1 End cap replacement of the main pod that will receive 2 plugs, 1 for coil + remote PP switch (4 connectors + 4 connectors) or 1 for Headphone + battery pack (3 connectors + 4 connectors)
1 End cap for the a Backup Exclibur only upgrading for an headphone plug (3 connector plug).
1 Remote PP switch "latching version" in SS 316L.

The plugs are partially made of titanium/gold and are waterproof down to 3000Ft.

The Fischers plugs are "screwed", not drilled to give extra strength and waterproofing capabilities. I will use epoxy when electrical contacts will be done.

Here's a few shots of the stock IKELITE Connector and the one I will use from Fischer:



2 size of connectors, a really smal one up to 8 pins and a large one up to 11 pins for battery POD (only for charging).

For those who are used to IKELITE plug, you can see the size and quality difference....

A 4 pins small connector will be used for the coil replacement feature

The use of a LiPo4s will overdrive a bit the Exclibur. I only use my Exclibur for underwater hunting so overheating is not an issu for me. OBN told me that there was no gain (or almost) with the use of 4S (14,4v - 16,8v)..... but i'll maybe try the direct xxxxxx of OBN (top secret)....that should gives a boost to the depth.

Frogmaster, you how work your modified Excal? I didn't saw this Fiscker connectors before. The higher voltage really gain the excal's depth?
I changed my excal battery to Lipo, but not enough room in the pod, just for 11,1V pack.

I bought an used GG Amphibian headphones. I want to do pair with my Excalibur. I looking aftermarket endcap for this headphone, with connector or plain endcap. (i drilled my original for pinpoint mod)
I know OBN produce these endcaps at winter. That is still far away.
I look around to see if there is someone selling it.
