I can't tell who's serious and who's joking.
If serious, in addition to what you said, I'm the sort of guy who always has a stash of rechargeable AA batteries. Powers my scanners. Also, a good AM radio that runs on AAs.
I like this charger
And these AA batteries
I'm in 2 land, so power outages are more of an issue here. Like, with Hurricane Sandy.
NI-MH batteries are around 1.2 volts per cell. A battery holder like the one I linked will wire them in series. So the 10 cells together will give you about 12 volts.
Here is a link to some battery holders that already have lead wires attached.. If you fill them with 10 NI-MH batteries, you can just wire to the leads for your 12 volt connection.
To make this work, of course you will need some good NI-MH cells. I've been really happy with Eneloops like these though I'm sure others in this sub know more than I do and could give you other good recommendations.
You will also need a charger, and preferably one that can handle at least 10 cells at a time. I've had good luck with this one from Tenergy, but again you might want to ask this sub for recommendations. There are lots of people on here that have more experience that I do. Good luck with your project!
That is super helpful info, thanks. I have a few Eneloop Ni-Mh batteries and a charger for them already. I'll take them out of the flashlight they are currently powering and give them a shot in my Stryfe.
Using those batteries, would I expect much more improved performance rewiring with 18 AWG and removing the resistor and switches? Or would I need to overvolt for that sort of modding to have much effect?
