So my xtar batteries died and I dont have a charger. Is that battery more powerful then the standard brands? Durechell and Energizer AA will give the saber soft sound and the blade wont light up. I have a emerald driver. Do i have to use the xtar batteries only? Or is there a battery that I can buy that will turn my blade on and give it its nice loud sound back?
Help?
Hi. I know that you are new at this but... were there not instructions that came with this saber about batteries and charger ? Just wondering as I am thinking that you got a mystery box saber. There is a lot of information about batteries on this site if you use the Search Function and also on the US ordering site. We encourage all members to make use of this wealth of knowledge and information.
In a nut shell... if the saber has the protected 14500 3.7v Li-Ion batteries then those are the ONLY battery type that can be used safely in your saber and not void the warranty. US presently uses the Xtar brand batteries and chargers. Trustfire was the previous make so either can be used as long as they are a matching brand set.
My suggestion is that you order an extra pair of batteries and either the basic or even better the v2 Xtar battery charger from the US ordering site. Then you will know for sure that the voltage is correct. Some companies like to copy these batteries and they can often be found for sale on ebay or amazon. But the voltage is not always correct.
Hope this direct link helps and all I did was enter the word " batteries ".
