Title: PJCCS Upgrade and rechargeable batteries
Post by: oxide2k on March 05, 2014, 08:54:34 AM

Just completed my Quickie  PJCCS Upgrade.  I love it very much!

Now I am thinking about rechargeable batteries for Quickie. I've extensively read though this forum.  One thing I got that it's make more sense to use 9v rechargeable but not D cells? Is that correct?
Would Quickie with PJCCS Upgrade work fine with rechargeables? Do I need to change it?

Is this a good choice?

D cells are quite reasonable, but you have to search to be sure they are really D cells and not AA or C cells in a larger wrapper.
