I recently purchased an emag used off the boards. While it wasn't my only concern, I did look for a reasonably new model, with low Total Shots on the marker.
So I found one around 13,000 shots. Got it home, sent it through the paces. (Works Amazing!) :D
In between game days I decided to try finding out how long an absolutly dead EMag battery takes to charge on the car charger. So I pulled the pin, and let it suck the battery dry for a day or so.
Threw it on the charger, and completed my test. (A little under 90 minutes till the red light turns green if your wondering)
I put the battery back on, and it powered up fine. I cycled through the settings and low and behold, I had 0 shots on the counter... I guess my question is, how does the Emag normally store it's TS while the battery is off, and is this a known senario, or a bug with the board? Does it normally reset to defaults when the battery dies on the marker?
I just thought I'd bring it up, as I know some people try to sell their markers based on TS. For the buyer, it might be a good thing to know that people can reset the counters.
