The Halo Report is here! The End all FAQ.

After several months, of time, effort, and money, the Halo Report is finally ready for its release!

You Can download the Halo Report HERE

You can visit his site at www.DCLtech.com

He spent a lot of time and money working on this report to bring it to the Players. You can donate through the Halo Report download page on his website. Don't forget to donate at least a single dollar or 2!!!

Future version may include:
1. Reloader Board
2. 6 rechargeable nimh AA or Bcharge (same thing)
3. Dual 9-volt mod

Angry and WAS did not want their products discussed at this time.

Feel Free to PM or Email and ask any questions on this topic at dcltech@hotmail.com

Thanks to all and enjoy,
Matt "Dueydog" :D

Thats cool, real cool. Interesting read.

if i ever get a halo, i'll buy one. It'll pay for itself in batteries in no time.

Not bad, but it didn't seem to have enough meat to it (not to mention 'engineering').

"Most likely through some voltage divider and then a limiting resistor", why not follow the traces? It would have been nice to see what methods were used for these tests. Drop tests were explained, but is this the method used? People don't like to look at bad photographs of an LED scale readout. Graphs/charts are your friend.

This is more of a review of products than a report.

Considering this was FREE, it is more informative than any I've seen elsewhere.

He does have an email and welcomes your recommendations.

Duey-

Quick question. Have you heard about the B Charge packs? I'm just curious if you know how they compare to the other packs.

looks like a project for some EE class? :)

i hate dealing with stuff like this ie circuits :p .. im just bitter because i dont like my circuits class :)

The pictures of the LED readout prove it's actual test information, not some type of graph that you hope is correct.

At least it isn't biased.

6 rechargeable nimh AA or Bcharge (same thing)

The BCHARGE is a 6 Nimh AA pack @ only 8.4 volts. Last longer, but 16% less speed.
- ODYSSEY discourages using 6 rechargeable AAs because voltage is lower than needed 9v; during use voltage drops very rapidly then plateaus causing jamming & slow motor responses.

How've you been, dude!?

[Baby Huey]

For us basic people that was a great report. Happy to say I have a bone and (2) 9V's (for my shockers) on the way. Duey is great to deal with. Everybody have a great night and God bless.

Been MIA sorry. But I've been good. Can't complain.
