who would be interested in NiMH battery packs for warps?

*EDIT* check dealers forum post. http://www.automags.org/forums/showt...threadid=64041






i finally got the guts to start soldering batteries together and ended up with a 700 mAh NiMH battery for my warp. well, i need some money, so im offering to make them for anybody who wants one.

The packs are 9.6 volts, and between 700 and 750 mAh, depending on the cells i settle on.

i would probably end up charging 35-40 bucks with a charger, again depending on cells and charger.

[sniper1rfa]

alright, ive found what i will use. the actual pack will 9.6 volts at 720 mAh, which is about 4.5 x the capacity of your average NiMH 9 volt, and about 7 times the capacity of an alkaline 9V.

it would be 45 bucks with a 5 hour rapid charger, or 30 with a generic wall transformer that will do it in about 10-12 hours.

post here if your interested, i will need like 5 orders to make it worth my time.

Flame me if this sounds stupid.:o ...but this would only be a good thing on an rt or regular mag right? It would just be redundant on an emag, cause you can run the warp off the emag battery, right.

[sniper1rfa]

well, not necessarily redundant, just unneccesary. but yeah, on just about any other warp fed gun it would be useful, as they dont have batteries larger enough in the gun to run the solenoid AND the gun, or they dont have a battery in them, period.

oh yeah, if you have any other pack you need, i can build it for you.

and i can sell just the pack (no charger) for 25 bucks. all prices are shipped.

[sniper1rfa]

nobody?

good idea wonder where you got it from ;-)

im intested, just not now..... what do these batteries look like, would they workin a revvy?

[hitech]

I might, but I "made" my own battery pack to run my warp, revy and Hyperframe.

[sniper1rfa]

well, thy wont run the rev, not enough voltage (they NEED 18 volts, 12 volts will be all slow and stuff, and these are only 9).

its just a square pack, check AGDE's online store thing, they have something similar.

i got the idea cause i wanted a central battery pack. hostage, when we talked, i already had had the cells for like 3 months, i just didnt think i could do it.

now that i think about it, i could also do 10.6 volts you provide a charger) in 700 (AAA cells) or 800 mAh (4/3 AAA cells), or maybe even like 18 volts at 300 mAh (2/3 AAA cells, with 1 mm left over on the bottom. NO worky with a switch anywhere in there, it would run a rev though).

[RamboPreacher]

yes, I am interested. - no pictures?

[hostage]

Hey, hitech, you using the battery pack inside a emag battery housing, or using the warp battery area?

Though sniper, you need to be worried about quality control, are you using electronic tape to cover the leads? or did you get some shrinkwrap? Also, I would drop the price and put a disclaimer. That is why I am not doing that. I might do a battery for a custom mag, but thats it. That is unless they are put together well and done while following standards

also, btw many revys are 9v, mostlikely if you put less voltage required in a hopper than it will go slower, also if you put more than it should go faster, that is unless the motor and the board fry.

lastly how could you do 10.6 with a nimh? if you had 9 nimhs you would have 10.8v? unless you will use regulators and resitors

As I said, I am interested. I would want the battery pack to be in the warp, so that if my xmag ran out of battery (not gonna happen, but just in case) the WF would still work (since the mag will continue to work).
OR
I can also use the WF on my BTM too.

Hostage,
Neither. I have a "flat" 8 cell RC battery pack (from Radio Shack) that I have zip tied to the bottom of the warp adapter plate. It is positioned vertically (the shorter of the two dimensions) and takes up the space between the warp and my flatline tank. I have been thinking about building my own custom battery pack (I can always let the kid use this one in his RC car), but I'm going to wait an see how I like it the way it is. It fits fairly well at it is.

[FreshmanBob]

I'm very interested, 30 with the wall charger sounds good to me.

[Thordic]

Hmm, just a note.

I tried using a 9.6V 1600 mAh battery pack in my warp, and Pyro has tried it to.

Both of us fried our rectifiers.

On the other hand, Frausty managed to get the EXACT same battery that I used working with his warp. So individual results may vary.

Battery + charger is like $30 at Radio Shack though, and it lasts for around 3 months of playing
