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.  Smiley  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.

I've had that issue and if you're using AAA batteries, it's either one or a few of the batteries slightly popped out or they died. I typically warp electrical tape around the batteries and then use velcro strips running both horizontally and vertically to keep the battery case from floating around

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). Grin

Yeah.   I think I'm going to spring for some AAA rechargables...

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.
