Re: Cheapest place for \"N\" cell batteries
Yeah, I got my rechargeables from TNC ($2.10 and the N cell adapter for $2.75), and Energizers from Kevin at Batterystation (.75). They are incredibly expensive at RatShack, but I got some for free back when they had that $5 free coupon in the summer.

Look in thier loose cells area for these.
Be warned, These nimh N cells really pack a punch when fully charged.
You can also try using 2/3 AAA nimh, or nicads too. (same size)
I would recommend a Rayovac 3-in-1 D cell charger, or a Vanson Speedbox ( www.amondotech.com ) to charge these.
You will need to fabricate some sort of adaptors for these to get them to fit and charge.
I made some out of a beer can.
In the pics are the Battlepack batteries with thier home made adaptors and an ledlenser v2 powerchip light awaiting it's return of it's fully recharged N cell nimhs.
I put in a 9mm bullet cartridge for size reference.

Re: Cheapest place for \"N\" cell batteries
Thanks for all the info, I took your advice 3rd shift and ordered from Battlepack.
Do you use one of those cartridges as a spacer for your n cells? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/xyxgun.gif

Re: Cheapest place for \"N\" cell batteries
Oh goodness no.
The cartridge was for size comparison only.
You will still need to come up with some kind of home-made spacers to get the batteries charged.
What kind of light is getting these N cells anyway?
These Battlepack N cells definitely overdrive any of my ledlenser "coast" lights.

Re: Cheapest place for \"N\" cell batteries
TnC has great adapters to charge your N cell rechargeables in the AA slot on your charger. I use the Maha 401 with very nice results so far. None of that weird charge each cell different stuff that some have reported.

I just bought two Peak "n" cell lights and they are regulated, will it matter with regulation?
I also plan on having them modded.

Regulated is just fine for your battlebot grade rechargeables.
Your lights should perform beautifully. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
