Please Help Me Understand This Madness.
So I'm looking to get the ESp trigger frame.
Been looking aorund at various stores, online and physically.
(prices are approximate)
Trigger Frame - $90
(comes with striker, car charger, from one place, it comes with a battery)
Rechargable Battery - $14
Battery Charger, Wall - $19
Who is the genius who decided that I need a car charger more than a regular wall charger???!!! Are most paintballers rednecks who don't have power at home, and will instead drive several hours to a field to play??
Another site even offered me a choice of 2 different types of wall chargers, without telling how they're different, and either a Energizer 9V battery, a garden-variety Kingman 9.6V battery or a Java 9.6V battery.
You just can't win man.

a charger in your car would be good if you gonna play all day and only have one battery. Is there speed chargers for these? I know there are for RC cars. 4 hours compressed down to a 15 minute charge.

that'll be great, but i think it might also be a lost cause.
This is the 2nd time i've seen you ask this questiona nd nobody has replied.

I think they come with regular chargers..... I dont know, my friends imagine said it came with a car charger(he uses reg. batts so he didnt care), and it came with a wall charger. If it comes with a car charger just use regualr batteries.

why are you using that tone with me?? Are you a mod or something incognito?? It was (and remains) two separate issues, thus the 2 seperate posts.
And AFAIK, "double post" indicates that you're posting the post twice.
Listen up boy, I know bloody well what the "edit" button does, so you can just climb off that high horse you're sitting on.

oh calm down and just get over it both of you a double post won't destory the forums... Anyway car chargers are just cheaper to manufactur plus since they are made in tiawan they don't have to worry about the electrical plugs design, its different in some countries. I bought a charger from radio shack with about 10 different attachments to charge and power things use it on a cb, batteries and some other things old laptop etc....
Eventually you'll just go to reg 9v's though as kingman says they aren't recomended WHY I don't know besides it makes them money. I've heard it can fry a board but I see no way a lower voltage battery could fry a board. 9.6 vs 9 I would just go to RS and invest in some non crappy rechargables if you are going to be playing alot. Batteries still haven't come as far as they need to tech wise which is kinda surprising.

what is the name of the batteries I can't remember non-cadmium. crud I can't think right now I've been looking over to much paperwork.... anyway its the thing that pretty much cuts the batteries life in half every recharge. The expensive ones don't have that problem.

Some guns are picky and need a 9.6V to properly throw the noid and drop the sear. Others work fine on regular 9V. I would just get a rechargable cuz it'll end up saving you a LOT of money.

SO!!!! wasted a few bucks on stuff I didn't need.
The trigger comes with a wall charger you plug into the grip, and a Java 9.6V battery.
