Warp And Batteries

[SqueegeeKid]

Do any of you Warp owners find they chew through batteries?

I went through 2 brand new Rayovac batteries today. Then i put in a brand new Energizer battery to finish off the day.

I unhooked the batteries from the warp when i first got the Warp (about 2 weeks ago) so it wouldn't drain em while it was sitting in a box, so unless the Warp magically drains batteries inside the battery chamber that thing must need alotta juice.

Or those Rayovac batteries are crap?

Anyone else notice that?

I used up a whole brand new Energizer Battery in a couple weeks, playing twice, once on each sunday.

I've had pretty good luck (so far) with batteries in my warp. Even bargain bin quality (rayovac).
When I get my act together this is what I'm going to get.
This has been suggested here a few times.

It's been my experience that Rayovac are almost the bottom of the barrel.

I've put about a case and a half on the current duracell ultra. Still feeding fine...

I'm staying away from Rayovac batteries.
I never understood why people considered Mags blenders until today.

Every few shots ended up chopping a ball. I didn't know what was going on until the Warp stopped working entirely. Then i figured out (duh) that the Warp wasn't cycling as fast as it should have because of those bloody batteries.

Hopefully Energizers'll fix that.

Think i might order some of those batteries at that site. Thanks than205.

I use the Plainview batteries. They work great and pay off their cost real quick.

welp i've tried the duracell procell (indust str.... yeah right) that i "borrowed" from where i work..... have also tried the bunny route and the generic rat shack ones.... i have gotten the same performance out of all of them +/- 500 rounds of a case on avg.

though the only paint i have been able to usle is the rps/pmi advantage shell purple/wht or the teal/wht both with wht fill... as the indoor mall field is fpo... maybe i'll have better luck next month when i head out on a road trip to play and throw some 32º paint through..... anyway i'll probly end up with the rechargeable ones listed soon though

i usually change batts after a case. Had a problem going over a case once...chopping like mad. Finally figured it was the batt. Since then, no probs.

If your dwell is set with jumpers all in the off position, you're going to eat batteries a lot faster. Setting it with two jumpers vertical spins it a lot less and is enough to feed the gun. This about doubles battery life.

[SqueegeeKid]

Yeah, i have all four jumpers on, i was messing with it yesterday at the field thinking i mighta had the thing setup wrong. All the time it was the batteries.

I'll take two back off and see if my batteries last a little longer.

That is what TK told me. I've noticed that they last AT MOST about 1/2 as much as duracell.
