Title: Betters substitute Post by: ve5wil on July 07, 2013, 03:27:26 AM I know the obsidian uses 2 14500 3.7 v 900mah battery li-ion
I've seen a 2000mah 3.7v 14500 on ebay ( item 110754701952) Will these possibly work for longer run time. (1hour didn't cut it for an event I was at today) or could these be "counterfeit" batteries Thanks Title: Battery substitute Post by: ve5wil on July 07, 2013, 05:00:42 AM I hate auto correct. Topic should be battery substitute

It's usually the 18650s that support that type of mAh. There are legit Li-ONs on Ebay though. Try to aim for the 900mAh. You might find that they seem as expensive as some better-rated ones, but that's because the 900mAh are legit. To avoid the problem you faced, I have always ordered an extra set of batteries with my sabers, and have always had a replacement ready to go, you know, if you ever get another saber in the future. ;D Title: Re: Betters substitute Post by: Ninja-Jedi on July 11, 2013, 12:15:34 AM most builders I see that use 14500 instead of 14650 usually have mah rating of 1400mah. The 18650 can go much higher
