Well guys, this isn't like a technical problem, i don't even have a halo. I noticed that the halo needs 6 batteries to operate... i saw this and i was like HOLY ****!!!! So i think im going w/ an eggy unless there is something i can about this(i don't have fast fingers anyway...

It uses 6 double AA's....I would never buy an egg.

**Snip3r** · June 26th, 11:22 PM

Cant you convert it to something else?

**Huey69** · June 26th, 11:32 PM

You can use two 9v's(either make a harness or buy one)

if ur parents don't like the idea of sticking a homemade wirring harness into ur $100 hopper, i have a link for a dual 9volt that works on halos.

Yea its alot of batteries, I would still reccomend it over an egg though.
Could you pm me the link bobide?

Keep your money, a revvy with a spyder is fine.

**Viking Kid** · June 27th, 10:40 AM

well.... i plan on upgrading to a bko, so i was just wondering what u guys thought. So do u have to buy something to use 2 9 vs? or do u just put 2 in and there you go?

edit: o ya, pm me the link would u bobide? tnx

No, its got a harness thing for the AAs that has the 9 volt connector at the end. So you just go to radioshack and buy the standard (not heavy duty, believe me on this one) 9 volt connectors, then get a sautering iron. Now what you have to do is set aside two 9 volt connectors, they are gonna be connected to another 9 volt connector the exact same way as eachother. First what you want to do is take the single connector and put some shrinkwrap down at the ends so you can move it up later. Now you take the two connectors that dont have the shrinkwrap on them, you take both red wires and sauter them to the black wire from the connector that has the shrinkwrap, then you take the two black wires and sauter them to the red wire.

I'm not 100% sure on this but its what I remember doing.

Solder*

But basically you are making the two batteries parrelel to one another into the board.

wait a sec, i recently read that the halo takes 6 AA batteries, is that true? if it is then we dont have a problem, i can recharge those, i thought it was 6 9 volt, lemme know if im wrong

**Badlands** · June 29th, 07:18 PM

Yes it is 6 AA's, but you can mod it so it takes 2 9v's instead.

**Viking Kid** · June 30th, 12:34 PM

well, were ok then, 6 AA's will be fine

**JaKeZ** · June 30th, 09:43 PM

u can run 6 aa's 2 9v's or 4 aa's in the reloader b by empire i belive
