Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. I've ordered an Apprentice LE v5 with Lite Sound, so the Li option wasn't available. However, taking into account the recommendations, is it possible to use these rechargeable Li AAA batteries (Amazon link tinyurld due to size: https://tinyurl.com/ydhchqte) in the 4xAAA battery holder and does anyone have any experience as to whether this is noticeably superior to NiMH rechargeables? Specs look good, I don't think that should be a problem. Let's see what others think, though, since I don't have experience with regular stunt or Obsidian Lite setups that have the 4xAAA power sources. |

As long as the volts are the same you should be good. However, the most recommended battery for AAA (or AA) here is the Eneloop Pro. These will not only work but will last longer on a charge (higher mAh). Eneloop Pro AAA batteries |

Just as mentioned, if you're using rechargeable batteries, the Panasonic Eneloops are what I've been using for years.

That's a case for Marlena. Contact her at marlena@ultrasabers.com, and include your oder no., order date and of course the problem. It's a warranty case, so she'll probably handle that without any costs for you (except shipping). But wait for her definite answer on how to deal with this. Hello. Ive had the same issue. Opened my 200$ mystery box and saber had sound but no colour. Opened it up and the battery pack was smoke. I just tried using that email. But it said it wasn't working. |

Nope, that email address won’t work any more. The only one to use these days is info@UltraSabers.com. |

The sabers I've ordered are the Li-Ion setup with charging port. Once they've arrived and i test them out, they'll be stashed at my parents' house because they're going to be Christmas gifts. Someone had told me it would be a good idea to charge them up a day or two before so that they're ready to go, but I'm assuming it would be a good idea to remove the batteries completely before I store them so that they won't leak in storage over the next several months. What I'm worried about is if removing the batteries will mess with the charging port setup, and if so, what's the better option?

Removing the batteries doesn't affect the Recharge Port setup. If you want to mess with the wires as least as possible, I recommend leaving the batteries in there and charging them via the port. I haven't heard of a leaked Li-Ion battery yet, although there's always a risk.

Oh yeah, once i dole the sabers out, we'll be using the recharge port, but i've heard that there's a slow but gradual drain on the batteries when they're not in use, and that it was recommended to charge them up at least once a week because if Li-Ion batteries completely drain, they're useless at that point. Removing them before storage will prevent the drain, but i didn't know if it would mess up the port setup. Thank you very much for the help and have a point!  |

It also works just to plug them into the recharge port when they aren't in use and leave it. There's no need to take the batteries out once a week if they're plugged in all the time when not in use. That's what I do with mine, and my oldest with a recharge port is 5+ years old and I've had no issues at all with the batteries. |

Right, and once Christmas comes by and I give them to my kids, we're going to leave the batteries in there for good and just use the chargers all the time; each of the kids is getting his own. I just don't want to leave them plugged in at my parents' for the 5 months they'll be stowed away before then. My dad won't be too happy if I hijack his electric bill, LOL. So I'll just store the batteries separately for that time, put them back in a couple of days before Christmas and use the chargers to make sure they're ready. Got it all planned out.  |

Sounds good but may i suggest you test them in saber before wrapping |

I'm not sure how I'll wrap them, but when they arrive I'm going to check all 9 of them out to make sure there are no issues; all the sound fonts work in the 5 main sabers, no manufacturer defects, no problems whatsoever. |
