Emag battery to run hopper

[DoomWithAnXmag]

I am trying to figure out how to use the Mag battery to run a halo. I know it has been done but can't find the info on it anymore. Does anyone know if there is a connection on the board you can tap for battery power? Any idea how a halo would respond to the Mag battery?

Sure you can. You can build one from a variable voltage regulator (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062601&cp=2032058.2032230.2032279&parentPage=family) from your local Radio Shack. I think the instructions are on the back of the package. you need a couple resistors and capacitor and the reg.
Is a Halo 6 or 9 Volt?
It would be easier if you could a fixed voltage regulator do a google for a 7806 (+6 volt) or 7809 (+9 volt) they would take your part count to two (the reg and a capacitor).
or some one could Build you One. ;)

I built a reglator to run my halo off the emag battery. It cost like $10 in parts. I used the variable regulator from Radio Shack. I turn it off in between games and I get about a case off a full charge. Just remember, if you are shooting fast or the hopper is running constantly, the regulator can overheat and shut down. Just build yourself a small heat sink and you shouldn't run into this problem.

why would you want to? so its easy to charge?

Just to make it more simple. Instead of having a seperate battery for the hopper I could lose the weight and have one less battery.

anyone have a diagram of this "device" lol

Ill give you a diagram(schematic) But first how many AA does the halo use(*how many volts)?. heck ill build it, as I alueded to in my previous post. ;)

Halo uses 6 AAs. I am also thinking since you can run a halo (and I often do) off two nickle metal 9Vs I can figure a way to run my Nerve or any (v powered gun off the halo batt.

here is a link (http://www.rc-cam.com/dc-dc.htm) on how to do it using a set voltage regulator. If you use a LM317 from radio shack, you will also need two resistors. I used a 150 ohm and a 1k ohm to get an output voltage of 9.5v. I believe there is a diagram on the back of the package showing you how to use the resistors to control the output of the variable regulator. If not then try this (http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Bill_Bowden/page12.htm).

could the warp and halo run off the emag battery?? and shades can you make it?? both the warp and halo are 12 v..ill pay you whatever it costs you in parts and labor..plz!!
