Folks, does the BuckPuck setup improve brightness or efficient energy usage relates only to battery life?
It's not gonna affect brightness really, it just gives you less wasted energy. |

Is it possible to buy a saber with Li-Ion setup without sound and then mail it in later when I have more money to get a soundboard? I ask because Phx comic-con is coming up and I want a saber but can't afford a saber with sound AND going to comic-con, so I plan on buying a saber and mailing it in later to get sound. That's all I'm asking... for now...

Yes you can I have an Overlord with Li-ion set up without sound and plan on sending it in for sound soon. |

I bought a Dominix v3 last July. I have the Li-Ion battery set-up from Ultrasabers for my saber with flash-on-clash, sound and Sunrider's Destiny LED. I picked up my saber after I came home from a two-week vacation and it wouldn't turn on. I charged the batteries, and still the saber won't turn on. My buddy tested the batteries and he said they won't hold a charge, so I guess I need to get new batteries.
Do I need to get 14500 600mAH 3.7V Protected Rechargeable Li-Ion Batteries for the saber? Or can I get Li-Ion batteries with different MAH ratings, such as the 2 TrustFire 18650 2400mAh 3.7V Protected Li-ion Battery?

You'll need to keep the batteries at the 14500 size, but you can get the higher-rated 2400 mAh versions for longer life. The 18650s are too long for the battery holders. |

I've never had a problem with doing this, and I've done this often! |

There should be no problems topping off Lithium-ion or Ni-MH batteries. That was a problem with Ni-CADs. |
