Ok but they are 3V batteries and not 3.6 or 3.7 VThose are rechargeable (SKU 932)
ok !(SKU 932) is the wrong size ...we need a 14250 (1/2 AA) size..the only one i found that IS rechargable is ...AW 14250 Unprotected Rechargeable Lithium Battery

Thx a bunch mate !! now i can buy the epipe !!

That seems odd...I would be interested in an explanation from one of our electronics guru's.Do not try the SAFT non-rechargeable ones, they will not work. They check at 3.6 v but for some reason will not work. When you put them in you get the three flashes as normal but when you draw you get 3 more flashes every time and no function. I think the pipe may have a built it amperage detector and the SAFT batteries are rated at 1200 mah. and the ones for the pipe are like 250-300 mah.

i cant think of one.. there might be a voltage detector.. but there is no such thing as a mah detector..
the saft batteries do not seem to be the right type.. rechargeable lithium ion cells of the lady pipe size are not 1200 mah.. such things do not exist... they are at the most around 300 to 400 mah capacity..
could the saft ones mentioned be 1.2 volt metal hydride cells.. if so they will not work.. the pipe will think it has flat batteries.. ???
someone needs to put a voltmeter on these things..

Multi-meter reads 3.6 v on the batteries but the will not work. I can't explain it. If you go to order the SAFT non-rechargable they list as 1200mah. i'm not saying they really are, thats just what they advertise as.

You are correct Trog. 4.19v fresh off the charger. I think the manual says the low volt cut-off is around 2.2v
Lots of places make the 1200mah claim-http://www.megabatteries.com/item_details.asp?id=14511&cat_id=89
But I don't think this applies to actual amps?
