Hey folks, first time builder here, and I'm just trying to get my bearings on what kind of saber I want to build. Totally new to the scene, so I'm going down the route of inexpensive and easiest to tinker for my first build. But I do however want to have some premium components like sound.

One thing I'm just not clear on is the power portion of it.

Originally I was going to just go with a basic battery setup. But from what I was reading, 2AA or 4AAA isn't enough juice to power a soundboard. But I noticed on the NBv3, it states you CAN use 2 Lithium Ion 14500's, which ups the juice to 7.2v.

I just wanted to confirm if that sounds right, and indeed if I could build a saber using the 2AA Battery Holder and put 2 14500's to power a saber that uses a Cree-Tri and a NBv3. My main goal is a basic saber with sound and FoC.

Thanks a ton!
