soo...tell me about your batteries

[wendigo]

Ive used the search function, but didnt really come across something about this here. Maybe I didnt saw it, maybe it havent been asked before.

AA batteries: Do you use 1.2v normal or 1.5v rechargeable for your lightsaber? And which one do you prefer and why?

AAA batteries: Same question

There has been a few topics about batteries.

I like NiMH rechargeables, personally. Duracell or Energizer, preferably. I believe they're 1.2v, but they're cheaper and better quality batteries imo. I use them for both AAA and AA. Or I would if I had a saber that took AA's....

Rechargable is usually the way to go. If you have some cash and dont want to get rechargable, I would say energizer lithium batteries. If you are economical, you can usually get a good bulk pack at your local supermarket.

will the energizer lithiums make the color of the blade brighter or just get more use out of the batteries ?

They might make the saber a bit brighter. I don't know how much difference .3 volts makes. You'll get more use also compared to standard alkaline, but NiMH's well give you the most use(each battery can be charged up to 1000 times so your standard 4 pack is like getting 4000 batteries).

thanks for getting back so fast.

The same here. Except they're some off the wall brand. https://www.ebay.com/itm/4pcs-Rechargeables-BTY-1350mAh-1-2V-AAA-Ni-MH-Rechargeable-3A-Battery-R3-R03-LR3/132862156319?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

There's 1350 or something NiMH

If your saber is AA size, then you'll need 14500 which are the same size but they're lithium-ion and outputs 3.7 Volts per battery which outputs 7.4 V for the premium sound card which needs that much power.  AA will output 3 Volts for a pair at best which may just enable sound only. 

AAA batteries are standard and used for stunts and Lite sound. I typically use Nimh rechargeable batteries by Panasonic and as long as your have between 3.5 to 5.5 volts, you'll be able to power the Lite sound and stunt sabers.
