is the marker 9volt memory free as well?

Environmentally friendly. No toxic metals. Best used in high draining devices.

200mAh NiMH rechargeable 9-volt MARKER battery: $20.

Yes.

I'll have a review of the 9V performance by the end of the month for a picky marker. AKA Viking and Excal, both pretty demanding for super fresh high end batteries. WAS board is worse for not liking rechargeable, but I have Pandora/Vapor.

The first tech tip for both is to change batteries like 3/4 times. Some off the shelf batteries don't even stand up. So Dueydog should be up to the challenge.

Hi,

Can I ask what brand cells you are using?

Hi,

They are the highest grade I can get from my battery manufacturer.

You say this will not work in a warp, yet it appears it will fit and it's 9.6v. Can it not handle the current draw? If not, why don't you make a warp battery pack at somewhere between 10 and 12 volts, with all the same advantages as the HALO pack over two 9volts?

There is no need to make a custom pack for the WARP when two high end NiMh 9v batteries will do the same thing and fit perfectly such a small space.
Thanks,

Two nonrechargeable 9-volts start at 9.6v, last 2-3 cases, lose voltage (Speed) faster and need replaced more often or you chance them dying during a game. Two rechargeable 9-volts total 400mah, last 1-2 cases (less than half) and cost $40 (same as HALO pack.)

two high end NiMh 9v batteries will do the same thing and fit perfectly.

Something is not passing the smell test here.

For those of you who are lazy like me you should get a cheap lamp timer so you do not over charge your batteries by mistake.

How about you read the entire FAQ and think about it before you start making accusations. The info you are quoting is about a Halo, not a Warp, so please keep your info straight.

The first quote is about nonrechargeable akaline batteries which have more mAh, a linear discharge and start losing the higher voltage needed for speed much sooner.

The second quote is about NiMH rechargeable 9v batteries which discharge flatter and will maintain higher voltage longer just like the Dueydog Pack, but will last less than half as long, cost the same price and fit into the small space of the WARP.

The battery compartment is three times the size in a Halo than in a Warp, which accepts my larger battery pack.

As I stated, there is no reason to build a custom pack to replace two high end NiMH rechargeable 9v batteries when they fit in the small space of a Warp perfectly. I'm sure I could build one, but it would be more expensive and with such a small space would doubtfully have much more power and would make it redundant.

I appreciate the question, but keep you info accurate before you start slinging smelly accusations.

Thanks,
Matt

Thanks for the tip kaibutsu. I'm working on a better charger for the next batch, but they are much more expensive.

I said that I thought the dueydog pack would fit in a warp, from the pictures it looks like it would. You didn't correct me. All you had to do was say it won't fit. By being unclear and making handwaving assertions about the superiority of your product you tripped my BS meters.

You have to admit that coming from what I thought to be true (based on your implicit affirmation that the pack will fit in a warp), your marketing pitch conflicts and contradicts itstelf. I understand perfectly now that the pack is bigger than I thought it was, it won't fit in a warp, so two nine volts is the best way to go. All you had to do was say so.

I see you have now edited your post to be more clear/make me look bad. You originally said nothing about space issues.

You are correct that I edited to add, "the WARP" part as since you were asking about "the WARP" I thought it was clear that we were addressing a pack for a WARP, but then you took my quick and honest reply and twisted it by misquoting info and slinging a smelly accusation.

If you look at my thread I try to be as open, honest and informative as possible, so that nowhere am I marketing anything but the facts. In my own thread, which you partially quoted, I state the pack is designed only FOR A HALO and that two of the best high-end Nimh 9v batteries will work, but last half as long and cost the same price IN A HALO. I'm certainly wasn't trying to make you look bad, but I do get a bit pissed when I believe someone takes my info and maliciously twist it. Here is the rest of the quote in my thread that you left out... "Designed specifically for "HALO & Reloader B." Will NOT work in an Egg, Rev or Warp." I believe this answered your size question before you ever asked it.

I designed these packs FOR A HALO not to make money, but because I was sick of wasting money on cheap, unreliable alkaline batteries. By saving money on a rechargeable pack I and others can play more PBall for less with better performance. Rather than marketing a pack for a WARP I was responded quickly and honestly for the best interest of WARP users... Two high-end NiMh 9v batteries will do the same thing and fit perfectly.

It seems I overlooked your question of size and that's where we went astray. How about we call it a miscommunication and go shoot some peeps!

Thanks and Good Luck,
Matt
