So, one of the things I love using my saber for is practicing sword katas for my martial arts training. This morning I picked up my Sentinel V5 LE and started my kata, only to have the blade die half-way through. This was followed by the "Obsidian" boot-up clip. This is the sure sign of nearly dead batteries. :-) So, with a slight pout of disappointment, I stepped back to my office and racked my saber, put a note on my phone to pick up some AAA batteries, and pulled up my work... And realized, after sitting down that I had not finished my Kata! Apparently I can't do the thing if the saber is shut off. LOL So, the question: Has this ever happened to you? Do you stop your activity when your saber batteries check out? It just made me laugh.  Hope it gives y'all a chuckle as well! |

Can’t say that I have ever had that problem. I frequently train with an empty hilt, but I’ve got plenty of charged sabers ready to go if I feel like annoying everyone in the house.

Oh, its dead batteries. :-)
What I was getting at was ... I STOPPED! For some reason I instinctively stopped the exercise because the saber wouldn't light up! LOL

If I'm practicing with it lit, then yes, I do this all the time. If I practice without the blade ignited I don't (but that so rarely happens).  |

The whole world stops when the batteries die. I hang my head, and walk my saber to its resting place.

As I have to constantly remind myself, there are worse things to be addicted to. |
