Energizer must make all types and standard sizes of batteries. The fives cells that make the standard pack are 2/3AF tagged cells nominal capacity 1000-1100mAh.

If they manufacture 2/3AF tagged cells with a capacity of 1500mAh, they might have found a market here?

Alternatively a 7.2v lithium polymer pack 36x44x32mm (approx RN battery compartment) with a capacity of 2000mAh and a built in charge protector and 6.5v 10A regulator, would be perfect!

Recently, one of my projects that I did on a group of RN-1s got the attention of some Energizer Battery officials and they want to sponsor the project. As expected, the first thing they want to do is to change the Hitec Batteries in RN-1 to Energizers.

I need all your help. First of all, I haven't looked into the solutions to the short battery life for RN-1. So what suggestions should I give them? Since the RN-1s used for this project are not using any extra sensors, there is no need for an additional set of Energizer batteries just to power sensors. I will have to ask them to replace the main Hitec Batteries

Moreover, I dont think they will custom design batteries for this purpose. And by custom design, I mean make batteries in the shape to fit in the original battery compartment in the RN-1. So where else can I mount the batteries if they dont fit in the compartment

Also, what is the maximum current RN-1 can draw when doing moves like one leg stand and push ups etc.

Also please let me noe if there are any creative suggestions I can offer them.
