Has anyone used them in hoppers? are they any better than the "normal" alkalines?

I haven't used the Oxyride model, but I bought some 'Special Power' Panasonic batteries. Got to a tourney, whacked one in my marker and it didn't have enough power to fire a single shot! Brand new out of the box.

Go for Procells, the safe and reliable option

From the review they look pretty damned good. If you try some let us know, unless someone else posts up of course.

I've got some coming, will take a look and let you know.

I on't know if a hopper classes as a "high drain" kinda device in battery terms.

for all paintball kit Duracell duracell duracell !!

nothin else has the juice that the duracell lets loose


Seriously though guys almost any other pp3 9v battery when you put a meter across the terminals you only get about 7 -8v in some cases less.

so its up to you pay a little extra for a battery or crash and burn half way through a game because your hopper or gun runs out o juice which will actually cost you more when you consider how much the tournement cost you for the sake of a decent battery

Hopper is definatly a high drain device.

Tried soma standard panasonic 9v pp3's in a vlocity last year and the low battery light came straight on, hope these prove to be better

Had the same problem in my Halo. Low battery light flickered as soon as I started to fire.

Duracell Pro Cell FTW and whatever you do, do not ever ever ever use Energizer batteries, unless you plan on throwing paint at people.

I had some of those in my digital camera. They were awesome outlasted normal duracells by about 40-50%.
