    ************************************************** ************************
    EDIT:

    Update on status


    production on the preorder sets have been delayed due to a problem with getting the tools need for it in. If the preorder people wish for exact details, PM and i will let you know the exact details.

    thanks,
    -Chris

    ************************************************** ************************

    Setting up the list for the preorders so that it can be seen what is going. Must have a minimum of 6 for one color before i can do that color. But if if there are 12 slots filled (form all the colors totaled), then I can do each color without having the color minimum. (example, if there was four people for each color... i would go ahead and do all the colors)

    also, please state along with the color how you want the other options. If you would like metalic flaking and if so what color. and how you want the wire coming out (standard out the back, out the front, or the side). also, please state what kit setup you would like (just block, home kit, or complete kit).

    please check post #9 and #23 of this thread for better details!

    As stated in post #9 and #23, the blocks will cost $11 more this round due to the extra special material. So that means the blocks will cost $33.00 now. the rest of the parts will stay the same!

    These are new charging adapters that I have been working on. So if you need to pick up a new charger or want to replace your older weak one..... and don't want to mess around with those darn alligator clips ....time has come. Best thing....its only half the price of what it would be to pick one up from AGD.


    Or if you are already using the alligator clips .... no need to mess with the hassel of them any more!




    The price for these are $22 shipped for the "block"! Yup, thats right...only $22 shipped!


    OR

    I can offer a complete "at home charging kit" . the charger and the block (complete charging kit) for $43 Shipped

    OR

    I can offer a "complete charging kit" for $52 shipped. It includes the block, wall adapter, and car adapter!






    Specs:

    - To be used with the Powerizer Universal Smart Hi-MH & Ni-Cd battery pack charger. You can buy it from me for extra $21 OR if you wish to buy that elsewhere it can be found here: http://www.batteryspace.com/index.as...OD&ProdID=2608

    - Because it uses that charger unit.....The block has the female end for it. which is great because it uses two different size pins. Great because that means you CAN NOT connect it wrong....which translates into, you dont have to worry about frying your battery.

    - They are made of a rigid plastic that allow these things to be thrown as hard as you can at a brick wall and still wont break. I have even taken a FULL SIZE crew cab F250 super diesel truck over one.....and it still wouldn't break. So they will deffintly last in your gear bag or tool box without a problem.

    - The wire is firmly in the block! So no need to worry about ripping it out. I have held the test one buy the wire and swung it around without it doing any damage!

    - They are soft enough that they will not scratch your battery casing at all! guaranteed! so no need to worry about that special anno on your casing!

    - The metal studs (that make the connection with the battery) are stainless steel. So no
    worries about rusting the connecters. EVEN if it was in the rain or dropped into water.

    - Just what those NEW KC batteries need. A great charger setup to fully charge them without any worries of hurting the battery!

    - Also works great for standard AGD batteries.

    - Has enough meat that you can carve the FRONT HALF into whatever you want. So that you can make yorus a bit more special!

    - Can now be used on the go with power from a vehicals power plug ... aka cigeret lighter plug.




    Will last pretty much forever




    Here are the pictures of the blocks from the second batch:










    Picture of the connecters:





    Picture of the charger to be used with:







    AND FINALLY, The Prices:

    The price for these are $22 shipped for the "block"! Yup, thats right...only $22 shipped!


    OR

    I can offer a complete "at home charging kit" . the charger and the block (complete charging kit) for $43 Shipped

    OR

    I can offer a "complete charging kit" for $52 shipped. It includes the block, wall adapter, and car adapter!


    **shipped within the US. I can ship outside the country for an added price in shipping**

    answers

    so here are some questions i have gotten and just wanted to post the answer in the open incase anyone else has the same question(s)


    Q) What is your warrenty on the setups?

    A) I test each block and charger before sending them off to the buyer. I make sure the adapter is allowing .4A to .5A range of power to pass. If they are lower then .4A or higher then .6A, I make sure that the blocks will never see a buyer. Though this has not been an issue due to my carefull testing in each setup of making them. If a buyer experiences a problem with the block, I will offer a replacement free of charge as long as its something wrong with my block that I did. Meaning, if you broke it by mis use, abuse, improper use, so forth....I wont replace it but will offer you a replacement one at a lower cost. As for the chargers themselves.....I also test them before shipping them out. But once they leave the door, I really can't offer any warrenty on them. But I will do my best to help solve the problem with them.



    Q) why are they rough looking?

    A) Well, i choose to go for a cheaper way of producing them to make it cheaper for you the buyer in the end. So instead of having the buyer spend $40 on some nice "pretty" piece.....i decided to go for speed to be able to make them cheaper and faster. and by cheaper, iam not talking about skipping parts or something.... i mean, just produce it in a easier and faster way without having to spend an extra 3 hours doing the designing part for each mold.

    And honestly....the part is just for funtion...not for beauty.


    And i will clean them up a good bit before i ship them. but any more beauty to it will have to be done by the buyer. which can be done with house hold tools.



    Q) Planning on making more after these six are gone?

    A) Yup, sure am. just doing small batches due to the time involved and iam honestly not sure how many people want one. so only a few at a time.


    Q) Planning on doing them in any other color?

    A) Not at the moment. but may in the future after the first two runs.



    Q) What is the charging time with this setup from dead state?

    A) I actually have not timed it. so iam not sure exactly.



    Q) does any other charger work with this adapter?

    A) I actually only suggest using the charger in the link. Because its very safe on the batteries and makes this setup very easy to use.

    But if you wish to use a different charger, I can get ahold ot the correct connecter for the charger for you for a few more $$



    Q) Can i make the blocks with a different connecter?

    A) I could, as long as you send the conector to me.



    Q) Can these blocks be cut and carved into a design?

    A) They sure can. I purposely left a lot of meat on them so that they can be. Just contact me before you do so, so that i can tell you exactly how the wiring is running inside. That way you dont ruin it!



    Q) It says that the charger is 16.8v. I thought the Emag batteries were 18v? Am I missing something?

    A) Nope, your right in a way. The batteries (least for the AGD ones) can be pushed to 18 volts if the battery can take it. but the suggested rating of use is 16.8. As you can see here on one of AGD's batteries:





    its the whole idea of electrical design. a electronic component can be pushed to a certian limit and still work, but it should be used at a certian rating for safe and long use. also, its rated at 16.8v because that is what they garentee you will get out of the battery. though the battery made hold more.


    but with that said, because of the charger being a "smart" charger, it will allow for a fuller charge of 17V or more if the battery allows it to and is kept on the charger long enough for the full charge. But the battery will determin that.











    any other questions, plese feel free to post or PM me with them.

    different

    just posting some update pictures of what they now look like after a little make-over of the visual.









    so

    there are 2 with straight slopes on the front end (top 2 in the first picture)

    there is 1 with the slope, but rounded edges (bottom left in the first picture)

    there is 1 with the most of the edges rounded over (center in the first picture)

    there is 1 that is un-touched (bottom right in the first picture)


    thanks,

    Ok so I been doing more pic of what I talked up to now.



    This is the said car charger included in the complete package. Now there something I dont know if it good at all that you will see in the next 2 picture. It is that I can plugs the wall charger inside the car charger both way.






    Maybe the inside recognize what current it is for the wall plugs.

    I guess the ability to car charge is more to keep your battery topped off...or atleast give you a bit of power to play for a bit if your in a jam.
    I don't really know about this as maybe we will found out that are battery is too low on the field and no longuer work so it not everyone who will turn car on for 30min-1h to get some juice to finish the day.





    I tryed to see how tight those adapter was, I think it show itself.



    Just to compare, there was no way to make this hold without using the screw and is a bit slack.

    It dont need the screw as you seen earlier but if you do use it, be ready to force a little at first but after it will be easier and like you can see it thread itself.





    The connector have a good grip and can resist when it move around. I didn't try to drop it to see if it resist sudent snap but the wire is long.







    Just to compare size again.
