Thread: First Saber ever....help?

    Building a 7.4v pack out of two of these: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Pa...0mAh-P856.aspx will run a 1000mA buckpuck for nearly 3 and a half hours (on paper.) In practice, you'll see closer to 3 hours.

    It's a much better option than the alkalines.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

    http://led.linear1.org/1led.wiz for the lazy man's resistor calculator!
    http://forums.thecustomsabershop.com...e-to-Ohm-s-Law for getting resistor values the right way!

    Well...looks like I'm gonna rack up another $50 to finish getting parts.

    I want to set up a recharge port. Only rechargeable Li-ions are single cell. Will this still power everything I need? And the run time?

    Not true. There are rechargeable 7.4V packs as well.

    Wait really? I must be more blind than I thought....I meant on the store though since it appears I forgot to mention that and I'm not very "wiring savvy" so I have no idea how to properly assemble a pack without blowing my hands and eyebrows off.

    Fortunately for you, the ones in the store are pre-assembled. Now all you have to do is casually browse the battery pack section to find what you are looking for.

    Blast....ok so I went through the store and the ones labeled rechargeable are 3.7v. However, there are multiple 7.4v that are not labeled rechargeable. Can these or can they not be recharged?!

    The Li-Ion packs (especially if they have the little JST connector on them) are RECHARGEABLE!
