Had a blast! Was pretty surprised myself at how quickly midnight crept up...
Make sure you get pairs of 3.0v RCR123's for your chuck. It is quite easy to accidentally wind up with 3.6v RCR's, and those will nuke your attys real fast without an inline voltage regulator (which SB's and chucks
don't have).
The best deal I have seen lately for charger and bats is:
Kits: 6 RCR123A 3.0V 750mAh LiFePO4 Rechargeable Batteries with a Smart Charger
I should be getting delivery of the above package sometime today (according to FedEx tracking).
The ones I have been using are:
4 Pack RCR123A 3V 900mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery with Smart Charger
These have been working fine btw, and even though the LiFePO4's are slightly lower in the mAh rating, they have a much better average lifetime of approx. 2000 recharges to the others 500 or so..
On another note, Shanta mentioned last night she was gonna order an SB, as it turns out they are out of stock. But according to a
thread in the Altsmoke sub-forum, they are getting stock back in on 11/23, and there is even going to be a limited run of powder coated SB's. Should be interesting to see what those look like....
