Expression of intrest: 12V battery packs

Hey guys,
Through work i can get hold of 12V batter packs for $15 a piece. They have a tamiya connecter and are 1800mah.
If i can get enough intrest for some i can make another order.
I have one and it works great on all my tamiya powered things but am yet to test it on a nerf gun.
Here is a picture.

cool, can you get the chargers as well?

I can look into it, usually they cost just as much as the battery though :\

I doubt 1800 MaH would be enough to power a nerf gun.

Well, them 14500 3.7V lithium batteries are only 900mAH.
2 of them are typically used in voltage-modded Barricade.

Amp-hour rating relates to its discharge capacity, not its maximum output capability.

Well i wouldn't think your going to put this in a barricade and Stampedes with 4 TF's have 3600 mAH and I'd think that was just enough.

1800mAh is pretty good for a small battery pack. That also means it shuold 'technically' last twice as long as the trustfire batteries since trustfires only got 900mAh. Only problem is that you'll get a less ROF, but they are more reliable =).

You're gonna have to look into chargers jacko. I try finding them on ebay, but I can't find a cheap one

I hate to correct you again, on this one too.

4 Trustfires in series circuit will give you 4 x 3.7V = 14.8V @ 900mAH.

Batteries in series = voltage UP, capacity SAME
Batteries in parallel = maximum discharge rate and capacity UP, voltage SAME

interesting, thanks for that. I learnt something today.

To be honest, anything that Mull has to say regarding batteries etc, I would take full notice of - the man's a genius with those types of things!! haha

Also, whilst Trust/Ultrafire's claim to be 900mAH, but I doubt there anywhere near that.

Cheers,

On topic. I will be interested if you can get me chargers. It would be useful and then I can start commissioning stampedes lol.

I'd also be interested in a couple of packs and a charger, if you can get a hold of the chargers.
