First one!

I'm on the verge of ordering for my first build, and I need some advice/info.
First off, for a Li-ion battery, a lot of them look like this one:

This is just one battery, do I need multiples of these? How do I recharge it?
Also, do the blade holders come with a blade retention screw hole already in them?
If the parts all screw together, do I have to glue them or anything?
Thanks guys!

I haven't built anything yet so I may not be 100% correct with this but I will try me best.

You only need one of those batteries if you want to go with that setup. You recharge it by adding a recharge port to your saber (and usually a kill key) If you are wanting sound, you will need a board that supports the 3.7 volts that the 18650 provides such as the Nano Biscotte. The blade holders do not already come with a blade retention screw hole, you will need to drill one yourself or pay to have it done for you. All the parts screw together and you really shouldn't need to glue anything.

all the responses JCreazy gave are accurate.
Good luck with your first build!

Thanks! Is there a Li-ion setup that comes out of the saber and charges or do they all plug in?

You can use these which you can remove and charge in this and you can use this and this to hold it.

If that's the route you want to go, you'd want batteries like these and a battery holder like this
and then you have your choice of chargers.

Of course, it's possible to have a recharge port and removable batteries.

Ok, what kind of batteries are these? AA, AAA? How do the holders you guys showed me work? How many do they hold? Will these work in a regular rechargeable battery charger?

[JCreazy]

They are 18650 batteries, they are larger than AA batteries. The battery goes into the holder, the holder drops into the mount and the mount is then slid up into the hilt. They hole only 1 18650 battery. They will only charge in a charger meant for 18650 batteries. I suggest you watch this for more information.

JCreazy's response left out the actual battery holder which is listed here:

It it will need to be slightly modified to with the speaker holder JCreazy listed.

Edit:
Jcreazy, your response came in just as I was typing, LoL. Great link to MadCows's video.

I most definitely listed the battery holder in my post.
