9Volt battery on the Reloader B?

[Ahdinko]

Thanks for the offer Ahdinko but i've got some spare pp3 connectors in my toolbox,i just needed a wiring diagram and i'll do the rest tomorrow
Just neede to know it wouldn't fry anything

Just make SURE you have wired it in parallel. If you wire it in series you will start frying things.
They do work nicely though, lets me use recharageable batteries without having those voltage problems everyone keeps going on about.

some of our guys are using 2 9 volts but there not tending to last very long, even with decent quality batts.

Thats because the average milli amp hour (mAh) for PP3's is around 550 mAh and 250 mAh for rechargable PP3's, whereas the average for AA's is around 2600 mAh. So even if you double the PP3's you'll only get around 1100 mAh's, not even half as much endurance as 6 AA's.

Yeah,

Ive never understood why any hopper takes PP3s.
PP3s are for low drain applications, they WONT last long in a hopper.

I use the four battery pack in my Reloader B in preference to the six I find it still feeds 15bps on setting one without any problems and seems to be easier on paint.

Thanks for all the replies,maybe i'll just use the harness i've made today in emergencies,i.e when i've run out of AA's i can switch to pp3's as a back up

I've been using 2 9V's in my Halo and it runs fine for me. Using Duracell Procells in it and I haven't had any issues with the batteries dying particularly quickly.

I can run 2 9v recharageables @ 280mAh each.
Lasts me all day on set. I have 3 additional sets just in case anyway
Saves lots of monies.
