Running halo on pp3 (9volt)
- Thread starter ollgeeze
- Start date
Not sure what the actual cells are - they're not AA cells though. I used to have something similar a couple of years ago which Sosta sold for AGD warp feeds, worked a treat in halos too - better than rechargables as they run at a slightly higher voltage and last longer.
Have just ordered three of the Bone packs, will let you know what they're like when they turn up - only gotcha is that the charger is 110v, so will need a step-down convertor to run in the UK.
Have heard some bad reports on the Boost - it's even higher voltage than the Bone and can burn out loader boards.

Hmmm, I've just bought some lithium 3.6volt rechargeable AA size batterys off ebay with a charger, I recon 3 of those might do it.... worth a try, only cost me a tenner from hong kong. Hope it doesnt burn my house down 
only 250mah tho... might last a day.

Found this on PBN, hopefully it'll show up OK:

That table is wrong in part at least.
Typical disposable alkaline AAs have around 2800mAh not 800 as they suggest.
I made & sold some 9V harnesses for Halos/Reloaders a while ago, I tested them on mine first & they worked fine (and reduced weight), and I've had no complaints from anone who bought them.
I also got a full day's play out of 2 rechargeable 9V's (not brand spanking new ones either).
I might make some again soon or if anyone want to know how to make them I'm happy to show them.

Rosie,
Is it just 3 9 volt connections that you need to make the harness?
if you could pop me a pm with how to do it it'd be muchly appreciated.
