Icon E Battery Question

[L0stS0ul]

Hello, I'm new to the forum and fairly new paintball in general.

My wife bought me this Icon E (http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1394276&cp=2367824.2295234.2295235.2295244&cp=2367824.2295234.2295235&fbn=Action%7CElectronic&f=PAD%2FAction%2FElectronic&fbc=1&categoryId=2295244&CompareButton=yes&parentPage=search&searchId=19123467251) for Christmas. The main question is that it came with a duracell 9v battery and not the rechargable battery and charger. Where can I get a good rechargable battery and charger for this gun? I've looked at radio shack and other places for a 9.6v battery for it and I have had no luck.

From reading the reviews I thought they all came with the battery and charger but I guess not.

Thanks so much.

You can check out a paintball shop, they should have one. You could also try a sporting goods store that sells paintball things.

Almost all online paintball stores have rechargable 9.6 volt batteries.

I went to my local paint ball shop today and they did have one but they wanted $50 for the battery and charger. That seemed a little outragous to me. Hence why I'm trying to find an alternative.

I am new to this so if you have any recommendations on reputable online shops I'd love to hear them.

Thanks so much.

Well I think I found one.

They have a deal on the
Maha MH-C490F-DC 9V Charger w/ 3 Maha 9.6V POWEREX Rechargeable Batteries for $65 shipped. Much cheaper than my local paintball shop. They were going to charge me $50 for the charger and 1 battery. This gets me a charger and 3 batteries. Should power my hopper and my marker.

Thanks for the help.

use just a regular 9 volt. works so much better for me
