remote controll car batteries?

[bobobob121]

i have a bunch of these around the house from when i was a young lad : P
and was wondering what kind of output they have if i took them apart and used them in my laser.
btw, it takes AAA. and on the side of each battery is the type of rechargeable it is.

Ni-Cd
there are 8 batteries in the pack. with a total voltage of 9.6. they are arranged like so. [][][][]
and if this helps, the power index is 1000. [][][][]

Ni-Cad batteries absolutely suck. They have a memory effect and every time you charge them they lose a bunch of their capacity. After a few dozen charges they start going dead on you after 5 minutes of use. I really wouldn't waste time with them.

alright. thanks for saving me some hassle : P

what kind of AAA batteries do you recommend i buy for my NOVA 75mW+?
btw, i haven't ordered it yet.

These are the absolute best batteries that you can use in the nova x-series. Just looking at the price makes my head hurt though.

NiMH batters like those will also work well in lasers. I would recommend those.

Yeah Ni-Mhs work well in lasers, and dont let the 1.2V rating fool you, they still work very well, and with the good quality ones, you can get a fair lifetime out of them. Lithiums are just good for showing the laser of and for impressing people more than it would with normal batteries, i wouldnt want to feed it lithiums continoulsy, itd cost you a fortune.

And yet for performance, that is the way to go.

Eneloop rechargeable batteries are the way to go. Gazoo got me hooked on these things, and they worked great in my old X105.

alright, sounds like im gonna get those too : P
