Thanks

Why do people say things like this?  Shipping rates have nothing to do with the cost of the item.

Go to the UPS website and calculate the shipping from San Jose, CA.  It might make sense, then.

If you want Emory to ship a different method that might cost less, email [email protected] and ask if he'll do it.  Nicely.

I have a small business and ship all the time.  No, it's not cost of the item, it's weight.  This is 1.9 ounces.  UPS has a limit of 1 pound which I do see ships for a minimum of $11.   Ridiculous!   Post Office could send it PRIORITY in a box for $5 or First Class for $1.71!   I ordered the batteries from another supplier that shipped it free, which I certainly don't expect.  But $11 for item that could go for under $2.  You don't even have to go to the post office.   I won't bother to detail shipping options further.

Hi, you must be new to this forum.  So I will resist the urge to answer this like I yearn to.

But if shipping rates seem a bit high to you and you want to explore other shipping options, you can always email us at [email protected] to see what we can do instead if ranting about it on the forums.  The UPS rates are generated automatically. 

So email us, we double check rates and ship items via regular mail (small items only like batteries, not whole sabers) all the time.

can you use a different Li-ion battery besides trustfire? has always been my question

[Chainmale75]

New feature..Buckpuck...I have an idea of what it does, but what effect on the saber will if have ?  I'm guessing it extends the batteries life to a point, and cuts back on heating issues. but does it make the color brighter, dimmer ?   



P.S Sorry for the nub question. but I've never attempted a build from scratch and haven't a clue.

[Kaiden Shardsbane]

I think the buck puck will also keep your LED safe should you accidentally put a little too much voltage into the battery.

If I do select this option with the BuckPuck for my battery configuration along with obsidian sound, it will come pre-installed and I do not need to do anything except power on and and duel, right?

You'll need to charge the batteries first.

I couldn't seem to find anything about what I'm about to ask, but with the buckpuck and the charger I see that the lights turn green when it is done charging, but if forget to unplug it does it actually shut it self off automatically like some chargers? I don't want to overcharge the batteries. And also how long does it actually take to charge the batteries when there completely dead? My Guardian with sound will be arriving tomorrow so I just want to be prepared and not screw anything up.

From what I've read, they won't overcharge but the charger itself could have troubles if you keep it plugged in all the time. I can't give you an exact charge time, but it'll be a couple of hours at least.
