aaa Battery

[allanshow]

Hi, guys

I have a viper 75mW, but I think it's underpowered because the batteries... I've used 2x Duracell rechargeable 800mAh.

Which battery you are used to use?

[]'s

Get Eneloops! Best rechargeables I've ever used

 

[allanshow]

Where can I buy it?

 

[iFoSh]

Goggle them

Amazon has some good deals

 

[allanshow]

I will buy them!! also I wanna buy a pack of Lithium aaa battery. Is it a good idea? Lithium Battery?

Lithium batteries have over double the output per battery so unless you have a laser for that specifically, I'd say you don't need them...

Not true.

Lithium primaries can have an unloaded voltage of up to 1.7V. New Alkaline batteries are usually around 1.5V per cell.
Fully charged NiMH batteries are usually around 1.3-1.4V per cell when freshly charged.
Rechargeable Lithium batteries are usually 3.7-4.2V per cell, but those are not suitable for 2x AAA pointers at all.

I use Sanyo 1000mAh NiMH from Batteryjunction.com.
They are the best AAA batteries for high drain devices.
Eneloops are also a brand of Sanyo. They are good batteries but they are designed for long shelf-life rather than high capacity.

He might be talking lithium primaries (non-rechargeable).
Due to their higher voltage of ~1.7V, some have reported boost in brightness
in some green pointers.
They also seem to last longer than alkalines.
Disadvantage: price.

I just assumed...my mistake haha.

What charger do you use for the Sanyo AAA's?

for NiMH, I use a MAHA C9000, The lithium primaries may burn out your laser, so be careful, but other wise they will give the most juice.

Also, if you have access to a Costco, buy your eneloops there. They are selling the 2nd Generation eneloops for cheap: I think its $25 for 8 AA's, 4 AAA's + the standard Sanyo charger, which you can use an an interim charger until you get a better one.
