20250504 Lighting for the AndersFP Blaster Pt.29 – Which LiPo Battery is suitable?

20250504 Lighting for the AndersFP Blaster Pt.29 – Which LiPo Battery is suitable?

OK, I am going to put this here because my Plan on doing an instructional video on how mount the board into the 3D printed part is, well, delayed for the time being. Anyhow, I just got a messenger notification, asking about which LiPo battery is suitable.

WHY THIS BATTERY?

The answer is the 701230 LiPo battery. I chose this because of its small size which can fit vertically into board and still within the 3D ammo cavity. However, with the 230mAH rating, it might affect the playtime. I have yet to test the battery’s endurance but right now, I am quite busy with work and we’re already in the second quarter. Of course you can experiment with a bigger battery but make sure the four bent legs of the 3mm LEDs do not scrape or puncture it.

The size of the battery is 30mm long, 12mm wide and at least 7mm thick. You can secure it with some double-sided tape on top of the 8-pin microcontroller but when you charge the battery with the included Lipo charger, make sure both boards are electrically isolated. In this image, the PCB board is white to signify the Ghost Edition which has a different LED sequence.

AND THE LINKS TO GET THEM…

Is not here. With the Tariffs taking in to effect, I have noticed that my often goto Site is not interested in shipping anywhere near the US (and maybe other places?). So, the best way is to search on your local sites or go to the nearest brick & mortar.
