I thought the halo only carried 140.. Oh well

I got those numbers off of Facefull.

My friend swears up and down that the Halo is "like a pound heavier!"

Next time it comes up, I'll be like, "no...like 5 ounces."

[SDRamones]

Exactly thats what I tell people now, only 1.7oz to about 5oz difference.

Wow, thats surprising. Could you do the same thing with a revy? I'm curious what the difference there is.

I could do that . . . I'd have to find my old revy. I'll post back again.

Cphilip already did this, do a little search. I don't think he went into different types and brands of batteries though, but at least you'll get some #'s. Also he took a lot of pics to show the differences in dimensions every which way.

Anyways, great test bro, I'm waiting on my Halo B, i bought a halo A and had it sent in for the B upgrade. It's been a couple of weeks already, hopefully they hurry the heck up!

Here's the thread Mossman was referring to, I believe. It is regarding HALO vs Revy stuff.

My results with Revy are edited into the 1st post.

Now try the Halo with Lithium Ion batteries, available in AA but not 9V. The weight difference between Li and the batteries used in your test is about 33%, meaning that you would shave about 2 oz off of your total weight. Meaning that the Halo would be lighter, if memory serves.

Why does the weight matter so much anyway? Is someone throwing it at you??

Thanks for the suggestion. I got some Lithium batteries and it made a little difference in the total weight.

I added info on the REVY and information for the Halo b w/ Lithium batteries. It made the halo b exactly the same weight as the Evlution 2
