Hahahaha you desperate for camper van at RM350? tongue.gif
Hahaha I think everyone will sapu from each other if they can get the van for RM350. Lol ok, I'm looking for boxes to keep some of my sets. Do you have extra? brows.gif

Hahaha! Started it as a joke, I don't want to get my hopes up finding it at RM350. tongue.gif Will "close case" with this joke. lol!

QUOTE(Caryane @ Jun 5 2013, 10:02 AM)
I agree and i have the same suspicion... The shipping i paid was... average, not cheap not expensive.
So i wouldn't rule out the possibility of sea freight... sigh.... well at least it arrived in one piece!  biggrin.gif

Mind sharing how much was the shipping for this lot? Perhaps that will shed some light whether it is sea freight or air freight?

doh.gif  no lah bro. Standard alkaline battery (AA or AAA) are 1.5V (in reality around 1.4-1.65V++)

Rechargable battery are 1.2-1.3V

Hence, the standard battery pack 6x alkaline ranges 8.4-9.6V++
Rechargeable 6x 1.2V = 7.6V , hence degraded motor performance.

By going 8x 1.2V = 9.6V
If battery is fully charge, is about 8x 1.3V = 10.4V. But I tested it won't sustain at this, once running continuously, it will drop to 9.5-10.0V

Even new/fresh alkaline at +1.65V x 6 = 9.9V

The Lego motors can stretch all the way to 11-12V.
10V is still fine.
<8V the performance will degrade.

Cannot fit 10x battery lah  tongue.gif  that's 12V-16V already, sure kill the motor.

tl:dr summary: More environment friendly to use rechargeable battery, but I need to maintain ~9V.

Yup! We should all use rechargeable batteries for the sake of our environment! thumbup.gif It puzzles me that big names like Tesco are selling single use batteries cheaply, kinda sending the wrong message to the public. unsure.gif It is true that same devices needed the full 1.5V from single use batteries to operate but I'm sure there are compatible models that operate just fine on rechargeables...

I have a battery charger/analyser and so far the Eneloops are very stable even after many rounds of recharge.

Have you tried Eneloop XX? It is higher capacity at 2500mAh but downside is that it is only good for 500 cycles... blink.gif I use them for my speedlights and they last forever in them! I find my speedlight refresh faster with the XX than regular Eneloops....

One day I will try to do a comparison on my train between regular Eneloop and XX...

QUOTE(aba9785 @ Jun 5 2013, 10:19 AM)
i think should be fine if you are using eneloop brand, the output is more stable.
other brand might have a different drop out in the voltage part.

actually i'm also still looking for cheap AAA deal, so can only found them from ebay.
it's around rm50 for 4x AAA (newer version which can recharge up to 1800 times)
i see. got it.

actually i saw they also selling a bigger version (35 drawer) with a mixture of small n big drawer
price around rm35+ (somehow is old stock at my side, lucky carrefour and tesco is less than 5km drive from my house)
somehow i prefer the smaller drawer version for now.

Yeah, Eneloop still the best for me too. Took note of your price, I may be going to Low Yat Plaza soon so I'll check price and report here. smile.gif

OT: Yeah, I used to buy cheap Tesco alkaline, but once performance degrade, no mood already. But the batteries are still good enough for LED torchlights, alarm clocks, radio, tv/aircond/fan remote control, etc. So, quite wasted.

Yes, XX are the latest. Still same 1.2V, just that it can last longer / provide longer continuous juice. But for the premium ~2x price, I don't think I need it for now icon_rolleyes.gif I can live with current ones, just mod it.

XX AA 2500mAh vs 1800/2000mAh
XX AAA 950mAh vs 750/800mAh

I'm sure you can notice the longer duration for train using XX, if you can let it run continuously for 2-3 hours per charge smile.gif
Or at least 1.5+ hours

Please share prices at LowYat Plaza
