How can I make my Batteries last longer?

The feedrate on it is the same for all of the settings. It just turns up how much torque (or out of the gate speed it has). Thats why the higher settings eat batteries so fast.

Thanks Kyle for looking all of this up!

I really like the PowerEX (MAHAEnergy) batteries out there. They have been great for me. Last year I saved a lot of money using them.

One thing for me is that I hate thinking that there is a chance that I will be going out on the field with not enough battery juice. So I used to buy new batteries every tourney, and only use the previous batteries for 2 practices max. So I was buying batteries left and right.

Any ways when I decided to buy PowerEX batteries I think it cost me $150 for 12 AA's and the charger and 3 9v's and the charger. I bought them before they was a sponsor for us and I liked them so much I approached them for sponsorship.

Either way long story short my first year I bought them I assumed that I saved around $400 dollars based on how I was buying batteries.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. The link is in my sig and I know Millennium sales them too.

So my opinion is get PowerEX.

I am just going to order the PowerEx batteries and charger. Thanks for all the info Chad! Your man Alex was way nice and very informative. I ordered them and should be good to go.

vlocitys are notorious for being horrible with batterys, i have not heard anything but great things from bone or boost (i would prefer bone because it has lifetime waranry and its cheaper and they are alot nicer to deal with), that or just got spend some dough on e lithiums i have been using mine in my reloader b for the past 6 months and they are still pulling hard in mode 1.
