So do you have to crack open your battery pod every time you need to charge it?

"crack open"?? dont know what im missing here. theres only 2 screws takes about 10 seconds.most battery pods you have to open it to put new batteries in.

Real Nice work snooksion, 50 hours is well worth cracking her open, takes maybe 60 seconds....How much is the setup....Thanks for sharing.....joe

Sorry, didn't mean that in a derogitory way. I've never opened my pod unlike the volumes of DIY threads OBN's posted over the years. As OBN asked...what did the set up cost? 50 hours of play time sounds awesome.

[snooksion]

battery cost $50. paid $120 for the charger.i believe it performs better than the stock.i dont care about the run time just performance

Great idea. No down time while hunting and no extra battery to carry out with you.

I think this a great idea. I have to ask what/which voltage cut off device are you using to prevent the battery from being brought down lower than allowed! Normally this would be 2.7vdc per cell which is 10.8vdc as your using a 4 cell 14.8vdc battery. I set my speed control to stop at 3.0vdc for safe carring of the battery! The Excalibur might run the battery pass that point without any knowledge to the end user and that would be the end of the battery! Its hard to see if you include a cut device in the pictures. I also don't know if there's room in the pod for one? .steve
