Title: Obsidian Sound on normal cells.
Post by: Lord Ignasia on June 19, 2011, 09:20:08 AM
Ahoy all, I have a Raven with normal power set up on the way, I was just wondering what kind of cells will run it best other than the Li-ions. Im not sure if I should use NiMHs or normal lithium batteries.

Thanks.

I prettty much had the same problem because the only batteries I could find with a recharger were the nihms.  I think the general thoughts are rechargeable are better, but nihms problem are when they start to die out they taper instead of keeping a steady output of power like liions.  Just my 2 cents.

Thanks mate, so if I were to use the NiMHs it would be best to recharge them fairly often rather than let them die out fully?

I would say just recharge when you feel like the light isn't as bright as you want it to be.

I use Nimh's in my sabers, and I charge them every two weeks. I'm not a real frequent saber user though...

Thanks for the info guys, might head out and buy myself some NiMHs for when my sabers arrive.

(WARNING-Dark Lord to Noob Moment Here Folks)

Okay, so just so I know (for one so I can order some more 3.7's) and I don't screw up my Obsidian Board once I get it: 

Putting Normal Batteries such as, Duracell, Energizer, into the Obsidian Board=REALLY STUPID, WILL DO NOTHING, BOARD WILL NOT WORK)

Is This Correct??

Pay Attention Here Folks, I'm Taking A Bullet For The NON-TECH SAVY Folks Like Me ;) )

(Bao-Dur I Am Not) lmao

No, that is not correct.  The board will run on regular cells, but like all boards with a powerful audio amp, the consistent current of lithium-ion batteries will make the board work better.
