Which Battery for Saber KVLs?

Post by saintarctangent »

I've found many KVLs for the Sabers on ebay, but most don't come with a battery. What type of battery will these accept and where could I pick one up?

There is also an adapter that allows the use of a
Saber battery on the MX battery connection.
These are rarely seen but one traded on eBay in
the past month or so.

I don't suppose my Saber charger will work with the T3011CX battery?

Nope. I have to keep one of the giant old MX chargers around just to charge my KVL batt. It gets used perhaps every 6 months.

Or you can make a battery elimator out of a gutted MX battery, that's what i did.
