VR3 batteries
Anyone heard of or got any views on these ??

check this out

Seem to be a good deal if they have decent shelf life. One normal 3.6v costs around a Fiver, so 30 for £15 is a bargain !!


worth a punt or not ??

well taken a punt and bought a set of 30.

with the colour screen and the URBM/HUD running from the same power I know the VR3 will be power hungry so we shall see....

As has just been pointed out on RBW look at the specs 20ma would have thought a VR3 colour will draw more than that ?

humm...
there are obviously some really technical people out there !!

well we shall see.

These ones have a higher mAh than other 3.6v batteries but the Sonnenschein ones I have used before do have a max discharge of 60mA compared to these at 20mA.

Still as I originally said, worth a punt. If not I am sure they will work in a radio controlled car or something !!

Just beware, these batteries die very quickly once they run down. I had one go from 3.4V ish to 0 over the time of one dive.
