More News From Rs
 

My buddy told me that RS resupplys by the nuber of AAA battres that are sold with the ZZ not the nuber of ZZ i checked it out with 2 other stors and thay sad the same thingb27m b10 bg12 bbcelbl

that is very cool. thanks

So that's why the lady kept trying to sell me batteries when i bought my zipzap.......

I would imagine that eventually, a radio shack might not get resupplied because not everyone buys batteries from them.

Can someone explain why they do that?

more than likely the zipzaps dont turn a lot of profit for them. they use products like them to get you into the store and buy a bunch of little thinks like batteries, antennas and magnets which are where they make their profit.

bikeshops electronics stores and grocery stores do the same thing.

you would think
 

you would think that with as meny as thay sold that thay would make a big profit from hell

i have already picked up 6 zipzaps for myself(and xmas gifts) and had to buy the WORST rat shack batteries. Do Not Use them in a race. the range sucks and its a weaker signal. my buddy with duracell (however you make a trademark symbol) kicked ass all over the track but i had to chase my zip around...
the batteries they sold me are good for low power constzant running electronics (like a PDA) but the duracell seemed to give more power and kick the range up.

what type od duracell are they

any duracell, they were just better than what i got at the shack

thank you very much

you are very welcome

Are you using the metalic golden batteries, or the "plus" types?

I've had good luck using the plus batteries in my ZZ.

either, i havent gone far enough to test different duracells

what about rechargeable AAA batteries

i understand that rechargables just dont last as long. i also found a friend had gotten last year for xmas a battery charger that recharges all alkaline batteries! yep all the duracells he uses he can recharge when empty!

duracells work the best to me so far
